I agree. He's my favorite character on the show, and probably in my top five favorites overall! As a parent, I totally understand Frankie and Mike's POV, but I find myself hoping that my kids end up being as weird and funny as these three!

You probably won't see this, but I'm curious if you know anything about why the German translation of 1Q84 came out so much sooner than the English. My husband read the first volume (in German) months ago and just finished the second, while the English version just appeared a few weeks ago.
