Build 07.21.21 release notes

Here's to a happy Wednesday with a new build!

Today's build brings some breaking changes since I've revamped the Inventory System and the character Neruko has also gotten a revamped config change since I'm preparing her for her story. 

This means you will have to start a new game, although you could load your saved game I do not recommend it, you may get some very unexpected behaviours.

Also, all the CGs for Akira's Date 2 have been added, enjoy ;)

And with no further ado, here are the full release notes:
