"... though it's surprisingly difficult to translate."
I'm curious, what is the literal translation? Kudos to you because that line from Shannon sums up his situation neatly.
I wonder why the anime gave Leo Soupy-kun story. So Leo never gets Soupy kun in the story at all? Why does Soupy Kun score so high in the poll, I wonder? I thought because of Leo, maybe Soupy had other charms that I haven't read yet ;)
