Hey why not? If people can fall for a flacky polygon girl
like Lara Croft then I'm sure there will be people who'll
go wild over the ST girls. But no one will know until
it's finally been truly tried out. Who knows, the very
people who go for Lara might go for Sakura. Of
course Sakura doesn't have polygon breasts and
short shorts but she sure looks cute, something I sure
can't say about Lara.
