OK, I can see that what used to be a topic about a serious subject
(the worship of the goddess Hasegawa-sama) has devolved into lesser
things. Ahem. Cough. Cough. ^_^

To get back to the original topic. I've now gone back through the
AMG manga (1-11, haven't got my grubby paws on 12 yet) and was appalled
and shocked to discover that Hasegawa-san shows up in only four stories.
The OAVs are similarly limited in content about Hasegawa-san. This is
going to make getting any good scans really hard. :(

This is where I get to show off my appalling ignorance of Japanese.
The way I understand it -chan would be used among children, siblings,
older boys to girls, and parents to children. This is why I said that
Hasegawa wouldn't be able to get away with calling Keiichi "Kei-chan." 
OK, everybody, this is your chance to tell me I'm two cards shy of a full
deck. :)

Well, now that we've got all that out of our systems, let's go on to 
something completely different. ^_^
