Fair enough. Personally, I don't feel the need for the VN. I feel the anime does a fantastic job of portraying the characters in a strong, three-dimensional and complex light, giving a strong air of uniqueness to every character. I love it! The exchanges between the characters are brilliant, as well as the relationships and the setting of every scene. Its really well done in many aspects. In fact, I didn't even initially know there was a VN! With that being said, I don't need the VN to fulfill the characters in my mind. I realize that others may, and that is entirely up to his/her own discretion. While I concede that point, I still hold true to how I feel.

I have read a lot about the VN in regards to Ruka out of interest in the VN's interpretation for a more three dimensional view. While it seems a little less certain in the VN, I still see Ruka as Transgender, simply because the desire and wish to be female, regardless of the male pronouns used, is still there. Like I said in the very first post, it is the feeling behind the wish, a feeling I can easily relate to. This wish to be female is the core and premise of the entire character and that alone is significant enough. In terms of Ruka's role in the VN vs. Anime, I highly doubt my opinion would be swayed in any way. With that being said, my interest in actually engaging in the VN is very minimal, so I will keep my analysis to the anime side of things.

As for Faris... Just from the anime alone, I could tell that she is very intelligent. She has a razor sharp keeness about her and in everything that she does. The way they portray her, with her dialogue, the things she does, etc all allude to that. She is very clearly not a normal "maid cafe girl". I knew that from the first few episodes involving her. She is an interesting character to be sure.

But I digress. I love, love, love the anime, and do not need the VN for any reason... If you enjoy the VN as well as the anime, then hey! More power to you! To each their own. Its nice to be able to engage in the desired outlet for media and to forge opinions on what one engages in. Whether its one or the other or both.
