RYOKO 22

And here we are almost but not quite a year later with Ryoko's presumably final chapter. I had thought that it would be a temporary hiatus which is why I dragged my feet on TLing it (that and there wasn't a group working on the series so there was no hurry) but the hiatus still rages on and someone did pick up the series so here we are. It pains me to say goodbye (for now) to RYOKO but Mitsuhashi's health comes first and foremost. I know you probably aren't reading this, sensei, but still know I hope you return as soon as you're able.

Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.
