I noticed as time goes one, his books keep getting more and more reviews. The old Tenchi books including the Hasegawa ones have none or next to it and the early GXP ony have a few. 8 is about the most he has recieved and the first with perfect 5s so far.
Interesting to see that one of the reviewers seems to be wondering if Tenchi's story will be completed before Kajishima's died, if I'm interpreting google translator correctly.
Always had a gut feeling the novels would be a better experience than the show, especially with the removal of NB.
Just a wasted character slot...Though he did crack a good joke every now and then.
