Ooh! Feedback! Thanks!  How did I miss that?  Probably by not checking my email 
regularly enough. :P  This prompts me to post Part III (yes, it's done).  I'll 
do that shortly.

Yes, I worried about that.  Despite my inevitable uses of expression like 
"Chikusho!" I am attempting to write my story to be a little more 
reader-friendly to the layperson than the average anime fanfic-reader would 
deem necessary (I'm fairly certain that one of my prereaders woud have 
absolutely no idea what hakama were had I not explained it).  I'll consider 
bumping the note to the end.  Hmm, or better yet, I'll put a note about it at 
the beginning of Part II.

Thankfully, I don't think I've written any more asides like this.  Feel free to 
call me out if you find any in later installments though.

Excellent point; the sort of comment that makes me go, "Oh, duh -- why didn't I 
realize that myself?"

Well, I'd better fix these things before I forget, or get distracted by shiny 
objects or something.
