I didn't quite understand the title fully, but I loved the story. It was simply excellent. Rather an interesting look into Natsumi's life that the friends she's made through her work make her feel alienated from the friends she sees at school.

And Akbane and the coffee machine ... You're a genius.

Cute!

that was great! good fic! if only you would continue.../sob you'll probably get twice as much revs.!

Cute! It's really interesting, and a very good take on smiling Natsumi!

i read this long ago. ^_^ i like it a lot! really great character study of Natsumi. Sounds just like her. It's not so much sweet as...nice. Okay, running out of words here...

I like the bit with Akabane. ^_^ wehehehe.

If I'm not mistaken, this helped inspire one of my other fics, also with Natsumi (I can't really remember...ehehe.). But anyway...write more!!

That was great. It was funny without being over the top and everybody stayed in character. I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!

I like Natsumi, and I love Akabane. I loved the insights into their characters. ^_^

Excellent. Seeing a fic this kind is so rare.

it's so rare to see nice stories starring Natsumi... she's one of the few female manga characters i dun wince at seeing... nicely done...

AkabaneXNatsumi? I don't think so but really nice story. Keep it up!

Brilliant story, though a bit short. Everyone is in character and altogether a highly enjoyable read.

sugoi desu! nice story. 100 thumbs up n does this have a sequel? i hope that it does^^

Very funny and I admit that when I read this part "Why do you think I said it fell to pieces?"
a wide smile immediately came up and I was just grinning the entire time I reread the story. Another favorite story ^^, I don't actually read much here just some random ones and I'm lucky I came across this one ^^, Very nice

Oh!it is so sad that you're not continuing this!I wish you would!PLEASE!you should turn it into a DrJackalxNatsumi. I'm writing one right now and its the absolute only one on ff.net and it would be great if there was 2, so think bout it,ok?your stories so great.CONTINUE ONIGAI!

this one - left a smile on my face.
