I love it, keep it up!

you know, this is the best fic in the ranma fanfiction. And i'm not just saying this either like many people do without thinking. I'm saying this because of deserved judgment. It's obvious you researched throughly in martial arts, great writing skills and greatly detailed description especially in battle scenes. You seem to know how to continue the story in details but enough to get the reader interested and not get bored of it. A great balance as a writer.

Scene changes are good and you do it perfectly leaving the reader satisfied. Altogether it is some of the best fic i've ever read. Especially since you don't make Ranma to be like the strongest fighter in the world completely ignoring other aspects of the world around like so many other fics. One of my favorites is that you don't think powerful techniques is all that important rather the fighter who is.

Anyway my favorite character is kodochi...err...the cross dresser. Hehehe, that guy is seriously wicked. But what i don't understand is why he hasn't gone after the crazy nut cracker who is the sole antagonist.

Another of my problem is that...well, after ever defeat Ranma gets, he comes back stronger and wins after a rematch. You never showed that in the mantis saga. But i understand that Ranma never went after him because he is weak against the grandmaster. Am i to understand that the sole reason about Ranma's trek is to come and defeat the mantis master in the end? If so, i can't wait for the adventure to continue. great fic man. keep it up.

This is a fabulous story and I'm enjoying it quite thoroughly. I love the characterisations in this story of both the scholars and the our regular characters heh. I find your writing style to be very entertaining and only find the occasional grammar and spelling mistakes. Great work with your story, I'm looking forward to your future chapters.

An excellent story, although the 'Britishism's' (git, sod, etc.) really throw me off when they show up in the middle of Chinese history and martial arts theory.

You get into the 'guts' of martial arts forms and styles better than almost anyone else I've ever read. It's a nice change of pace.

You know what? If I have to wait a year between chapters of this, it might be damned difficult, but I think it just may be worth it. This remains one of the most brilliant fics I have ever read, ranma or otherwise, with some of the deepest, truest, characterizations I have seen for these characters. Not to forget, it is absolutely one of the most detailed and delightfully accurate pieces of martial arts literature I can recall reading; I especially enjoyed the descriptions of Shampoo's usage of different kung fu styles, and what I believe were some Aikido moves used by Natsume at the end of the fight. Thank you very much, and although I'm willing to wait, I hope it won't take another year for another great chapter.

one of the best ranma fan fics I have read

One question why didn't Ranma say to Tofu about the other girls
he had obligation to as well liked or at least that Ranma
thought about his other fiancées when Tofu lectured him? Is all
forgotten what happend when Shampoo took care of him?

Then again I loved how the fight was described and all those
feelings and other impression you described to us readers.

All in all I LOVE this fic and finally ^^U got to it to add it
to my C2 community ^^\_/

Anyway thanks for updating!

great chapter, as usual it was worth the wait, in particualr i enjoyed the fight between Natsume and Xian pu as well as the brief encounter her and Mu tsu.

I this last year went well for you and (asuming it did) congratulations on the degree

Well done on a excellent new chapter. It's been a while, but I still remember this fic like it were yesterday. And it's still as good.

Hopefully the next one won't take as long. :)

Yours are still the finest technically executed and narrated fight scenes I've had the pleasure of reading. A superb job done as always in that respect. Anyways good to see Natsume and Kurumi make an appearance, too, and I really liked the interaction with Mousse at the end there.

The martial arts 'meridian' work (shades of tenketsu) is handled very well, though I'd have preferred it to have been more than just Tofu explaining it. The perception of ki (described as a personal paradigm) I found more unique and interesting, as it parallels some of the themes I'm using in TRTC. All around superb as always.

A delay due to that last year in undergrad is nothing to apologize for; wait till you get to the last legs of your Masters. ohohohoho

It has been awhile since this story has been updated, which saddens me slightly. I really enjoyed how the story was going so far. The fight scenes are excellent and the characters are well done. Hope to see more sometime in the near future.

... Shinobi means "one who sneeks"

hn, the key to this fic I'm assuming is focusing on knocking Ranma's pride off its high horse, correct? Pride truely IS the worst of the Seven deadly sins, becuase no matter what you do its always for yourself, your pride truely dictaits who you are and what you do.

Love the story, are you going to continue it? I'd like to see where it's going. It is a little slow though, dragging through every single detail - which is both really good and bad. Anyways keep it up please.

Fantastic! You've really gone in a different dirrection with this fic then most. I love the crime element and the fights are so excellently described with brilliant anatomical detail. I can't wait for more.
