Weekly Update #454: The Devil’s In The Detail
I feel like I may have done a post like this before, same title and everything, but I thought that, today, I’d talk a little bit about the reasons as to why work on the script for GENBA no Kizuna‘s penultimate chapter has slowed down a bit again recently.
