OT J213806.6+261957: already ordinary superhumps

   Hirosawa-san's observation on Oct. 24 already detected
ordinary superhumps.  The object was rather rapidly
fading on Oct. 23 according to observations by
Osaka Kyoiku U. team (Daiki Fukushima, Kazunari Masumoto,
Hiroki Kinoshita, relayed by Katsura Matsumoto),
which may have been a precursor outburst.
These observations suggest that either early stage
of the outburst was missed or this object behaves
like an ordinary SU UMa-type dwarf nova rather than
a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.
