Shujinkou v1.44
Polish / Quality of Life
Improved readability of the Kanban Menu's Labyrinth View with text being colored for the currently selected labyrinth.
Added Change Time spots to Town 4 and Town 5.
Sushi that heal both TR and MR now heal via percentage rather than raw values.
When selecting an item to use that has a Self scope in combat, automatically select the current hero and proceed to the next hero.
Add a new option to disable the Money Maker bonus (after battle concludes) from Tatiana's Kizuna. This is only present if the player has unlocked the Money Maker bonus.
Bug Fixes
Fixed three Kanban facing the wrong direction in Labyrinth 9.
Add missing Kanakae Orb spot to a spot in the middle of Labyrinth 7's Area 1 containing new information about six kanji. It includes 18 new Blue Text terms. Our apologies!

Fix potential soft-lock for story progression in Labyrinth 10 if a player leaves the labyrinth after fulfilling specific conditions.
Fixed issue with incorrect description for the "tongue" kanji.

Fix rare display bug with discovery percentages in the Kanban Menu.

Fixed several typos found in youkyuu, level loading tips, and more.
Fixed duplication of rows holding the same item in the Koukanya shop.
Balancing
Improve the balancing of certain purchasable armor (stats have been improved) when entering Labyrinth 8.
Our Biggest Priorities
We want to add a "Fast-Forward" (by holding a certain key) to some minigames so that they can be played and progressed through more quickly.
We've noticed some physics inconsistencies in Tatiana's minigame, Kotoba Kyuugi, and are looking to fix this soon.
We've noticed that when holding a button to move, then sliding your hand (while still holding the button) to another button occasionally does not allow the player to rotate properly in the dungeon. We are looking to fix in the near future.
