Yes, I know. And it's even worse because not only is it another bloody self-insert, but I haven't even had the decency to keep 'him' in the Supporting Lead role the way I did Neshan... harem, heroism, the whole nine yards - maybe one step away from your classic Mary Sue yarn... well, discounting the results of the fact that the source series has exactly four (two of whom are villains) out of eighteen or so main characters survive the entire run with sanity and heartbeat mostly intact.
OTOH, the fact that I'm writing it by trading scenes with another guy who's doing his own story has let me churn out two chapters in as many weeks, so it's not all bad...
Anyway, though that's been sucking up most of my attention, I have been poking the next chapter of TGNH with a stick during the quieter moments in class, so it's not holding completely still... Blind guess? End of next month, maybe. Possibly.
So, yeah. Don't worry about the extra dialog for Yukiko... I think that the way we get to follow her around and see her in the context of her own life is a large part of what makes her such an effective character. It goes well with how well all the other parts worked together.
