And here i thought that Lion-san was bound to Yuigahama, like the place where he died or something. Guess not. I wonder if he walked all the way to Tokyo or did he ride a train as well?

And that Student List book Lion-san was reading, i wonder if that's really a thing universities do or did in the past? Never heard of such practice, nowadays it would probably be considered violation of privacy, sadly.
