If only that dratted interrobang had its own key on the keyboard... though I bet it'd be worn out from usage.

Thank you for the translation! (Kobato and Fujimoto interaction is so much more... amusing when Fujimoto is flustered. ^^)

Yeah, though if you look closely there is a noticeable semantic difference between !? and ?!, which the interrobang elides. I suppose I think of it as the equivalent of !?

Fujimoto looks so much more human when he's surprised. ^^
