Ok, the story is good. I kept me more than entertained throughout, but you have some things you desperately need to work on that are relatively easy to fix. Almost all of them can be fixed by getting one or more good proof/beta readers. Ask them to pay special attention to misuse of homonyms, accidental word insertion, and to a lesser extent punctuation.

Because you haven't updated it in two years, I'm going to assume that you don't plan on finishing the story or writing the two others mentioned in chapter 7 any time soon. If it's just a matter of loose ends and you don't have the time or motivation, you might ask another author to do it. I've seen some great stories come about like that, and it's always a shame to see a good one unfinished.

Anyway, I AM going to subscribe just in case. I really hope this helps you. Please message me if you get the stuff I noted in the first paragraph worked on, and I'll be more than happy to favorite the story.

I can see Kasumi being open with the idea of sharing Ranma with Akane. Even Ranma might be okay with it since he loves both of them. It really comes down to Akane and if she would be alright with it.

I don't mean to come across as a whiner but why haven't you updated this story since over a year ago?

I enjoyed the story -- although the pacing and stress levels seemed to decline in the later chapters, most of the actions were compelling and seemed to ring true. Two things did strike me --

1. Colone action regarding adding Ranma in both types to the Amazon roles -- nice idea, but I think he would have been suspicious regarding the issues it might cause for his children if he was a tribe member.

2. Akane was heartbroken, but jumped to become a mistress -- I wonder still at this. Looked at from the viewpoint of Kasumi being her older sister, it makes sense, but most girls in the US definitely feel that mistress is a couple steps lower than any marrage -- precisely because their children aren't able to come to majority with those of the 'legal' wife. The practice is more common in Japan, though, and I don't know any Japanese girls well enough to get a feel for the culture shift. Somehow, it seemed to me that she got around her pride a bit too fast...

Overall, a fun read, casting Kasumi as a person who chose the life she leads, is trapped by circumstance but is a gem in the rough...

Aside from a few errors here and there, this was a great story. Please tell me you plan on finishing it. I plan on reading your other Ranma stories, but It's hard to believe they'll be able to top this one. Please reassure me if possible.

Wow. You ended with the reader finding out that Ranma's turning into a God? You're rather sadistic, arentchya? :P

I do, however, find it odd how often Ranma gets beat up by the rest of the Nerima gang, despite going all out, when he has so much power at his disposal. The prime example is with Kodachi, who'd just threatened to kill Kasumi. I'll forgive it though, since you obviously had Akane's little reintroduction in mind. (wow...reintroduction is a legitimate word...)

Really, though, this has been a fun little fic. Definitely one of your better fics and I hope to see more of it in the not-so-distant future. Whatever the case may be, thanks for sharing what you've written so far. ^^

Oh ho! I'd never thought that Akane will get to be with Ranma when I read this fic from the beginning but I like it too. ^^

I'm gonna look forward for your last update.

I noticed a number of references that would indicate Genma still being resident at the dojo at the beginning of this chapter, such as the reference to the fathers, the old men, and such.

I'll just list which paragraphs I saw them in.

Second paragraph "... at the two baka"

Eighth Paragraph "The fathers were well on their way..."

Eleventh Paragraph "He scowled at them... ... the two meddling baka" ...his idea, not theirs"

Those were the first obvious ones I noticed, so it might be a good idea to take another look through the chapter to see if there's more.

Great story so far. I've enjoyed this one (I think I say that too much, but it's true). Just one question: how long before the next update? This one took a very long time (snicker). No real offence intended.

Hope things work out.

Thank you for the new chapter.

I must say that I saw the divinity thing coming... (I've read it often enough for it... Then again, I tend to search those kind of fics ;-p )

I wonder how Ranma will take the news about his new status...

And now, some notes about your preview of the sequel:
- Kodachi with a child? Are you implying that someone fell in love with her, married her and all the rest? Either the psychiatrists at Tokyo hospital are really good ones, or it was a one night stand (or worse for her: being raped in a psychiatric hospital is a common plot...)
- Given you put "please teacher" characters in the story, I wonder if Miyu is from another story... (the only one that come to my mind is a certain vampire princess...)
- I wonder... is Ono changing into a girl, or into a phoenix?

Please update soon!
