enough, Kuno did NOT talk about himself very much; he just tried to get Ranma
to read his diary.

Okay... lemme ask this way:

Do people have a problem with the Kuno/Akane date scene as written? Is
it OOC for Kuno? If so, could it be explained as the wish enforcing
Ranma's concept of a date on the two of them? If not, how should I
change the scene?

    Not really.  It is perfectly valid interpretation; I feel safe in
thinking the
average reader will find it amusing, which is the whole point of the
story.  I sent
the summary of how Rumiko Takahashi portrayed Kuno on a date as
general info I
thought people might like to know, since the subject had been raised. 
It is not a
criticism of the story.

    Whether or not Kuno is OOC touches on character debate, and as
such is banned
from the list.  I'll send a private email about that.
