*nod* You really notice the difference during the mangaart-style OAV, where
the chara look a little... skinner? More on par to Akamatsu's original stuff
anyway.

Usually. IIRC, there are a few tasteful shots in the manga (during one of
those worry-by-myself scenes) where it's implied she's a little heavier than
