Exactly! I love history too, but I have poor memory, so at least APH helps me remember them better because I associate them with an anime character. hehe. And I agree. There isnt enough detail in what they teach in schools. You'd have to do some personal research on those things. And lets face it, if youre a kid, I doubt you'd bother to do that. At least, I never did.
Also, in all the history classes Ive ever attended in my whole life, I've only had 1 really good history teacher! Thats why I like putting historical stuff in my APH stories. Maybe it can help people get interested, or at least curious about history too.
