Sword On Fire 2007-04-05 ch 16,	abuseWow. This was a really, really excellent story. I loved seeing Kenshin like this -- first as a wide-eyed boy, then as a hitokiri, then as a tongue-tied teenager. You made him so much more human than the OAV did, and I thank you for that. I also thank you for following the manga as much as you did, for I hated the OAV and take Watsuki Nobuhiro's word as law. Keep writing!
Randa-Chan 2007-04-02 ch 16,	abuseWow, what an amazing tale. I sincerly enjoyed it but I probably should have stopped reading at Chapter 11. Never really enjoyed the whole Tomoe/Kenshin relationship and I always tended to just gloss over that bit. Unlike you, I'm sorry but I really hated the OVA's. Not a sad story sort of person you see. I probably disliked it so much because I watched the other anime first and I didn't like it how the character's were drawn so differently and everything was so grim with barely any music in the OVAs. I also have always loathed Kaoru and Kenshin's eventual relationship too and the suggested views by the author of how Kenji eventually comes to view his father. I thought it was so wrong that Kenshin not only get sick but that Kaoru would persuade him to make her sick to and he didn't have the brains not to say no. Anyway, I just thought that if I loved someone enough then the last thing I'd want is to make them sick to. Mind you, this is just what I read on Wikipedia as I've only seen a bit of the last two OVAs. Anyway, it just ** me off so much how Kenshin spent so many years trying to atone for his wrongs and then he just gets sick and dies anyway. Even if he may think he deserved it, I don't. Ah, what am I saying; I've probably bored you to tears by now with my ramblings. I really enjoyed your story overall and I particularly loved the first few chapters. Kenshin's two friends that got sent away were great and I would have liked to see them again but never mind. I also would have loved to see Kenshin whip Shinzu's butt in front of everyone but oh well. I'll live. A fantastic effort my friend and thanks so much for the tips on the other great stories I can read. Think I'll have to check them out shorty. Can't wait for more of your work in future and may your words continue to inspire. ^_^ Love Randa*
EmptyWord 2007-03-05 ch 16,	abuseWow. Breath-taking. The amount of thought put into this story, the research, the effort to stay true to the canon - I am incoherent with awe. It makes me want to run for the OAV again and rewatch everything, Kleenex box safely nearby. There's just too much to be said for this story, too many things that impressed and touched, it's overwhelming! I know this is one I'll be coming back to reread.
EmptyWord 2007-03-04 ch 4,	abuseI've heard such great praise for this fanfic for a long time, and I'm sorry I haven't come to it sooner! It really does not disappoint. The practical, ostensibly simple style of storytelling reads easily and carries with it a noticeable impact. That was worded kind of awkwardly. I mean, you don't waste your time with flowery descriptions of Kenshin's emotional or even physical state, something the RK fandom is more prone to than others (not to say it's bad either, if done well); you just state it, short and simple, and that is what hits me. It comes out especially, for me, in this chapter. "‘May you be happy in the afterlife,’ he found himself thinking." - Nothing mushy and yet with a greater effect than if you had waxed long and feelingly on his turmoil. :) And really, the amount of effort poured into research to keep this fanfic accurate, alone, is enough to keep me reading to the end. But then you go and have an amazingly believable plot and characters and scenes, and then I just fall headlong into it all.
kingleby 2006-12-27 ch 16,	abusethis story is amazing! you write kenshin's change so well and it feels so realistic. i love Yoshida's character too ^_^ you're really talented!
best 2006-08-23 ch 16, anon.	abusegod this is one the best fics ever and it sometimes made me cry also i relly want tomoe to be be alive so kenshin can have happiness he deserves it like no other! oh well awsome fic ever!
Elena 2006-08-12 ch 16, anon.	abuseThis story is amazing. Just like the previous reviewer said, i complete forgot that it's a fanfiction when i read this. I love your realistic approach and analysis of Kenshin's character when he first left his shishou. You're completely right, Kenshin must thought he's bad at everything when he was 13 (Hiko kept on calling him baka deshi afterall). Fans of Rurouni Kenshin, I strongly you to read this story, you won't regret it.
Skyla Ladona 2006-07-13 ch 16,	abuseThis was great! While reading this I forgot that it was a fanfiction! I'm so glad I found this. -Skyla Ladona
Clemen 2006-07-05 ch 16,	abuseWow, this is one of the best RK fics I ever read. It like a novel that you can't put down until you finished the whole thing. It beautifully written. I look forward to reading your other works. Take care, and god bless.
LilBrokenDolly 2006-06-21 ch 16,	abuseExcellent, excellent, excellent!
pandorac 2006-06-16 ch 16,	abuseI must say that your fanfiction was incredibly addicting. Like a novel it captured me and held me in place until the epilogue. You made me lose like precious amounts of sleep after work:P but hey, it was all worth it. Its not common to see some really good RuroKen fanfictions, and yours is probably one of the best, if not the best. I can see a lot of research went into it (either that or you must be practically as obsessed as I am in memorizing lines of the manga and doing research for fun lol). In either case, beautifully written, really amazing, your writing is superb, it was as if a painting fanned out in front of me, and all I had to do is follow it. I loved the details, and I loved the way emotions, battle, and dialogue were displayed. The thing that was of course, the most impressive, was the battle scenes, since they are so hard to describe, but you ornamented the parts that needed it while simplifying the rest, making it neither simple nor overdone. Altogether wonderful piece of work, it really is a priceless fanfic XD. I love it
Crazy Hyper Lady 2006-02-04 ch 16,	abuseOmgsh... that was sad! But such a good story! I was crying! I loved it!
Punch Buggy 2006-01-28 ch 16,	abuseNow that I've finally gotten a screen name, I decided to review this story! I can't believe you are so great! The whole flow of this fic is just beautiful. And do you mind me asking how many pages your chapters are on Word? Mine never seem to be long enough (or good enough). Anyway, keep writing! I'll be waiting for a new story!
