Akiko Higashimura
“I'm sorry, mom. I have some bad news. I guess I messed up somehow, somewhere along the way. I didn't manage to become a princess. I became a fujoshi instead.”
― Akiko Higashimura, Princess Jellyfish 2-in-1 Omnibus, Vol. 1

Lucy  Carter
“Will the quotient of any number divided by zero ever be defined?”
― Lucy Carter, The Reformation
