It's strange that they'd use something so obscure for a popular series.
I hope others gained value from this discussion too - I learned some interesting stuff along the way.

Glad we could help.
The "grass script" name is the incorrect way of describing sōsho. It is true that 草 in 草書 (sōsho) stands for "grass", but it also means "draft". Cursive script comes from clerical script and it was initially used for notes written down in a hurried and uncaring manner, hence the "draft script". It has nothign to do with grass, despite that the text in cursive hand may look like a grass on the wind, as many books erroneously explain.
