Apparently this is an old story I missed reading.

It has good dialogue, an interesting plot/hook/mystery, and good pacing.

I would love to see this continued some time. I think I see some subtle foreshadowing going on, but unless its continued I couldn't say...

Interesting start, and I really wonder what the deadline is for, is one of the people going to die? Has someone sold someones soul? Maybe Genma sold Ranmas soul? Nerima should be nuked, after getting Tofu, Kasumi, and Ranma out first of course. I can't really think of any others in the story who have any honor at all. And even theirs is stained. Don't tell me the faceless residents of Nerima should be spared, if they has banded together, they could have stopped the madness. Guilt by association, after all if a family can have collective honor, why not a ward?

Nice work. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Interesting story. It would seem as if Ranma's fight against Saffron brought about a significant change for our aquatransexual martial artist.

In my opinion, it seems as if the pairing of this fic (if there actually is one) is Ranma x Ukyou. That's good, since it is a fairly rare pairing. I don't like Akane. Now, I don't despise her or anything, but I simply can't stand her attitude. She jumps to completely irrational conclusions and often reacts very violently. She is also unable to take any kind of criticizing, and, yet again, reacts violently if someone dares to actually criticize her. Sure, she can be very nice and is generally a good person... But being nice sometimes just doesn't make up for some of the shit she sometimes pull, often without having to suffer the consequences.

If I'm understanding this right, Ranma has been changed by the entire Jusendo adventure, and his ki is turning into the same kind, or something similiar, to Saffron's fire. Is he ascending into a Phoenix? I've only seen something like that once, and that fic hasn't been updated for ages...

Keep up the good work!

Very good Continue it

I liked where you were taking this fic. Not so
much the standard 'Ukyo gives up on Ranma' scene,
but the way that you're gradually as you write the
story adding complexity and details to the various
characters. I'm really curious as to where you
intend to take the subplot with Ranma's tainted
ki, as well as the conceit you're using to advance
the various relationships; the idea that there
was a time limit to the engagements. Also, having
just browsed back at the Ukyo scene I note a bit
of an undercurrent with her reaction towards
Ranma's promise of one week. Is her engagement
also limited by time? I'll be intrested in seeing
how you handle all the various threads you've
pulled together, as soon as you update this story...

I liked it... mystery about Ranma's changes, drama with Ukyou and stuff... and all the normal craziness and chaos of a normal Ranma 1/2 day (well not as much... I think it was kind of toned down ^_^)
Hope you update soon :)

I really like the story idea, but my enjoyment of the fic is hampered by the stereotyping of some of the characters. Nabiki is too mercenary, for instance; but mostly my objection is Akane being too angry and prone to jumping to conclusions. If you watched the anime, maybe that's it: I have the impression that practically all the characters there are more stereotyped than in the manga.
Remember that she mellowed out a lot later on; in the Hinako story, she was the LAST fiancee to suspect him of being perverted, despite the others' very vocal fears, until he was caught in a VERY suspicious (though truthfully innocent, of course) situation.
I think the "silly bitch" bit is way out of line. I don't think Akane would say something like that. Aren't she and Ukyo friends, whenever the engagements aren't a glaring issue?
Please understand that I'm talking a lot about this because I see it as a major problem in an otherwise excellent fic. The 'time limit' thing is innovative, the Ukyo scene is excellent, and I rarely see Mousse handled so well in a continuation. I will probably keep up to date on this whether you take my advice or not, on the strength of the story despite [what in my opinion are] its faults. You're a really good writer, from what I see here.

A good start to the fic. I'm hoping this isn't going to be one with 'psychobitch Akane' though. It seems that you've got some interesting ideas, I'll be looking forward to seeing how they develop.

Cool! I want more! MORE!
I really like this. You're doing a really good job.
I hope you plan to update again soon.

great story.

I like, make more. Ouch, my hands hurt.
Not really sure what else to say?
LATER

This is very well written, but the character bashing was a little over board. Call it what you want, but I'm tired of seeing Akane the Psycho stories. You also took the comedy out of the Ranma plot and that seems to have just turned this into a dark fic.
Keep up the good writing, but I don't think I'm going to like this story much. Sorry. :\

This is good! I want more! Lots of plot potential, and it seems alot like the original with everyone in character! I can't wait to find out what will happen next, and what his change means!

Interesting fis. I am not really sure where it is going though. Should be interesting.
Still like to see more of your SI fic though.
Later,
