I approve. But, there is one thing that bothered me about it. "As a novelist, he sees it as weakness, and as a man who likes to talk, he sees it a major hindrance.
Eiri doesn't enjoy talking to others, unless it's being sarcastic, bitchy, verbally abrasive, et cetera. It's pointed out several times in the manga by his sister and even himself. The anime doesn't have quite as much character development when compared to the twelve volumes for the original manga, and the one for EX.
But, other than that minor character flaw, this was wonderfully written, and made me painfully jealous. -twiddles thumb with embarrassment-
