I had a question about the "tsunde ita" mattresses. I thought that for transitive verbs, the phrase would be "tsunde aru" instead of "tsunde iru" ... so why is it not "tsunde atta mattoresu"? Sorry -- this is probably a very basic question but it's been bugging me for a few days so I just had to ask! Hello,
