I know what you’re thinking: “What about Coded, and 358/2, and Dream Drop Distance, and Back Cover, and–” shush, reader. Let’s not overwhelm the guy. A new adventure (about half of which…

Welcome back to the twentieth edition of Clickbait Boyfriend! It’s hard to believe this series has been going on so long, a statement which is equally applicable to our subject Kingdom Hearts.
