Regarding the Yacht Club
Spoiler:
Other than Jenny and Lynn, the only Yacht Club members that are from the novels are Yayoi Yoshitomi, Natalia Glennorth, and Ai Hoshimiya. Their names appeared in vol 3.
Some of the missing members are Marie (got replaced by Lily Bell
), Angie, Miyamoto Ruri, and Lucell.
The club room is located at Hakuou's Academy main building 3rd Floor. They have 36 simulators, with 18 of them are single-seater (vol 1 pg 80 & 84)
Edit:
Hmm. Looks like from BD Vol 3 onward, Matsumoto (LN artist) will provide the Omake.
Back in January, some 2ch posters did agree on the anime take on Marika's character design. She looks more like a high school girl as compared to her novel version and it is suitable for Satou's claim for Marika's character growth. They said novel Marika is too beautiful and adult-like. Though this will probably cause a problem when they adapt vol 3
.
Funny though, that now one of the things that they're discussing is "What is going to be cut down from the novel?"
. They also discussed the possibility for Mouretsu Pirates ending (Omedetou Ending, "You've completed the Game" ending, "Her father is the last boss" ending
)
