Today is the day of Nerine’s birth, and it is a good day. It is fitting that I will be the one to first wish Nerine a Happy Birthday. Truly no other is worth such attention and affection. In honor I will provide a detail look at her personal character volume. Wish her a Happy Birthday while you’re at it.

Page 06-13: Various CG images of Nerine (all of taste) as well as her room. New Item: Nerine in a cheerleader outfit! Two such images are present, obviously a scene from the PS2 game “Shuffle! On the Stage.†It is a nice pink (her favorite color) and white outfit with yellow pom-poms, Nerine’s hair is up in pigtails. Has the text “fight!†on the left side. Very nice indeed. Also a new picture of young Lycoris (Ricoris, however you wish to spell it) on a swing.

Happy Birthday again Nerine!
