Heh, yeah, I so know that feeling. . . . okay, not the feeling of getting married and being given a giant bag of pot, but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
Oh man, I can just imagine, yeah! That PLUS extra characters and not knowing what's part of the original and what's not could get really perplexing. And hey, this way, if that part of the anime arc is not quite as good as the books, you'll never know until you actually read the books, so really you will get full satisfaction out of both! Which may be a better way to go about it.
YES SERIOUSLY. Yoko = MORE THAN awesome enough to carry the series without giving her some dead weight to carry around. And while I love Taiki and Taiki's arc, it's not quite as subversive as Yoko's, either. Like, I don't think the world would have stood out to me so much if I'd read Taiki's first and then Yoko's, because Taiki accepts it a lot more easily than Yoko does, if that makes sense.
