I loved how you described the way Kenshin's personality developed from living with the Kabuki actors! It was so cute! Then your ending, absolutely fabulous! I loved everyone's reactions.

rele good!! update soon!!

This was a beautiful read. Thank you for writing. I found your historical footnotes particularly helpful. Thank you for being so thorough with your writing. I feel like i not only had fun reading it but also learned something of Japanese history along the way.

Brillaint story!
This is the best way i've seen on how Kenshin became the rurouni!

A very well conceived and well written story. I definitely need to read more of your stories. There's a large (ten year) gap to fill and I'm happy that you've used your talents this way.

I've been meaning to review this forever. Please forigive me for not doing so. I enjoy the last two chapters and I applaud you for such an insiteful story.

Keep up with the story. It is very funny.

i really enjoyed this story and was wondering if you would write a sequal to it. if only a oneshot to let them go to the play in tokyo it would be really cool but if not thats okay its still one of my favorite stories.

I really liked this story! It was so creative.

This was way cool. One of the best RK stories I have yet read.

Very good! A most enjoyable read. I still felt very sorry for Kenshin in places but you get that when you read about this poor guy's miserable life. Okay, sounds like I btter check out your other works. Congrats on such a good job!

Love Ralinde*

i do not know if you still read your reviews after such a long time but i have to mention this. this story is the best rurouni kenshin fan fic that i have ever read. thank you so much!

Brilliant!

Wow. This was fabulous. After reading it through I had to go back and read it all again. I liked all your original characters, but I particularly love the image of Kenshin as this very serious young man who has to be taught how to lighten up. It makes so much sense, too, that as a hitokiri and then as a recovering-hitokiri he would be extremely serious all the time. And he desperately needed Ryosuke to teach him to have fun and Byako to teach him some common sense.

I hold out some hope that you'll write something further with this acting family. Thanks for posting.

By the by, this story isn't listed as being complete, so you might want to go in and check the appropriate box for that.

well, there's really nothing i want to say that other reviewers haven't said already, so i guess i'll just keep my review short and sweet. Here it goes! I love this story, i plainly love it! This story offers a very interesting explanation to the Rurouni's silly personality, and it's very plausible (i bought it)! Just like with your "Descent into madness", i felt like it was part of the Kenshin canon when i was reading it (a true sign of great fanfiction). This is definitely one of my most favorite Kenshin fic. I've also noticed that many many writers have added this story as one of their favorites. Congratulations on writing such a beloved story. Please keep on writing in the future!
