Furuba: list of character appearances (Haru)
(Slowly) planning a website revamp, and since I did this for Haru/Rin and Rin on her own last summer (those lists have been updated), it makes sense to do it for Haru too. I've just been putting it off because he appears so much more often than she does. >.> Luckily, this is probably the most tedious part of the revamp for the character pages. *stretches*
I went through the volumes fairly closely--Haru's much more prone to showing up for two panels in a chapter than Rin is--but may have missed something. Let me know if you see anything I've forgotten?
