I've seen there's not a FAQ on the web of this game and i've made it. I have not read the manga and I don't know the characters but I've appreciate a lot the game's and character's atmosphere. What this FAQ need: 1) Characters info 2) Move's names 3) Moves that I've not found 4) Various... Help me to complete and correct this FAQ. Thanks. Zazą zaza2k@tin.it
