Seeing trouble on the horizon, Ben and Doba must go the one place they never wanted to go: A counselor. This would be much cooler if it were a councillor which I always want to spell as counciler. Just imagine Ben and Doba standing in front of a council, ZeroRanma sits in the center. He looks to his left to see Super and Dark, he looks to his right to see Youko and probably Joe Bush or something. Slowly he stands up.

Thumbs down.

Joe Bush from camp joins us as we once again remind the world that Doba goes off to camp soon! But only for a little bit this year. We think. We hope. Hey, if we’re lucky maybe he’ll stay there forever and we’ll be rid of him for the rest of eternity. That’d be nice.

In this special edition of Read the Manual Ben tells a story of how he almost died. The big twist at the end is that this isn’t actually a special edition of Read the Manual, you’ve been had. You’ve been diddled again, and yes I’m sure that does mean something entirely perverted. It’s felt like forever since we did an RTM. Shut up. We did one. Oh, and Missingno joined us too. Cause we wanted him to SO THERE.
