How simple it is! Just breathe deeply and many troubles will seem to fade away, right?

good

. . . Clearly you saw more in Akiko than I did when I read these chapters, because I forgot her name while you were inspired to write short, but very evocative pieces of fanfiction about her. Your writing has impressed me for a while, though this is the first serious piece of yours I've read; you were able to make an unknown situation familiar to me, and humanized Akira's mother in a way I've yet to see other authors do (though I've been out of the fandom for a while; maybe they evolved behind my back?). I enjoyed this, and it made me think. Thank you for sharing!

good! it shows that akita isn't gay! yippie!
by the way, akiko is also akira's mum's name, did you know that?

nice one, personally i always wonder how they met n how touya kouyo actually felt for her (fyi, incase the manga explains it, i never read the manga ')
maybe you could make an on-going abt akiko n touya kouyo?

Touching. Very good introspective on Akiko's thoughts, on her future, her husband, her family, herself. It was very original and I loved how she managed to go through with the wedding.
