I was just rereading this story, and I realized I never reviewed it...which is weird, but anyway...

This is undoubtedly one of the most original and well-written fics i've read...despite the whole not finished part of it.

The way you write is just very unique..the disjointed and half-finished sentences, the italicizing, the dreams...and it just makes reading your story even better.

I loved the emotion and realism of their often awkward and argumentative relationship. Definitely the best high school fic i've read.

The ending was very poignant and fitting...again despite the unfinished-ness :p

You are an awesome writer.

O.O They had SEX?! Where was I when that happened?! Darn it, everything is so VAGUE in this story...

>.< What was the deal with that older man's odd behavior?

I love the way you write. It's almost like it's poetry! this is a great story!

I wished you still did this thing. You were awesome at it.

Oh, this chapter was so awesome. I loved it. Funny.

wat goin to happened plez continue

i would expect naruto to make a show of it -- once the pants are half off, whats a little strip tease between a boy and his audience? XD

nice beginning!

...this is good but confusing!

cool
very pretty writing

So, you are going to continue this?

Wow. You have an absolutly GREAT fic going on here! And the fact that you're been to a Japanese school on an exchange program makes the entire story worth waiting for. There's so much I want to ask you, but I'm a tad bit too lazy to ask xD So, please keep up the great work. I'll be waiting for the next chapter. ^-^

please continue! The story is exceedingly good! And the grammer is too. There are so few good stories out there! So please keep writing!

This is an odd little story. The way things are described, the half-finished thoughts and sentences, and the effects of the dissociative amnesia make it all a little unclear and confusing. I hate it when author's describe the looks on people's faces and their reactions without actually naming them. I just don't get what it is the person is feeling and why they feel that way. Motives get severely mangled. There are also the times when Naruto makes his realizations and I can't tell what exactly it is that he's figured out. Finally there was the story they made up together as they walked up the mountain. I got some of the insinuations, but I felt like there was a significance as to which lines each of them said that I didn't quite catch. I also connected Sasuke more to the fox because his lack of trust and hope. I actually really liked that scene despite the frustrating sense of missing something.
If I remember correctly from Psychology, dissociative amnesia is when the person takes on a different persona and at some random time will wake up and have no recollection of what has happened. It might be helpful to some if you explained this. It seems like sometimes he gets a different persona when he faints and sometimes he doesn't, like when he fainted after Sasuke kissed him. That also leads me to the incident in the woods. I get that it had something to do with Orochimaru, but I didn't think the person who attacked Sasuke was Naruto in one of his spells. The other thing is that no one ever mentioned it again. They got attacked and injured in the middle of the woods by someone who looked like their classmate in a time where no one can do genjutsu and they never even talked to each other about the strangeness.
One thing I really liked about this is that it dealt with the gay factor. A lot of people like to throw them together, damn the consequences. We'd all like the world to be a nice, accepting place, but it's just not like that and not having that conflict in a story takes away from it, I think.
If this story continues I'd like to see development between Kakashi and Naruto because they are such an interesting relationship. Usually people understandably put Naruto with Iruka, but I think Kakashi definitely makes for a better dynamic.
It's been a little while since this has been updated, but I hope you continue this eventually. Happy Writing.

I absolutely love this story, it is, without a doubt, the best high school fanfic I have ever read. I'm not even joking. I love how you put footnotes at the end of each chapter, not only do they help me follow the story but I've learned so many new things about Japan.
Also, I have to say, it's refreshing to read a high school fic where Naruto and Sasuke aren't emo goths. That scenerio is so common it becomes dull after round two. I like how the whole thing is structured, Naruto really seems to come to life in your story, and I imagine that he would be very much like that in real life.
I have to admit, and please don't take this as criticism, I was hoping for more fluff. I'm afraid that I'm a hopeless romantic on the inside. But I think you have the two's relationship figured out. It's done well (as all your work is). So well in fact that I don't really even truly mind, it is, after all, probably more realistic your way than mine! ^_^
There are so many questions I want to ask... and I will, but don't feel obligated to answer them unless it's something that I have missed entirely. For instance, (and here I go...) Does Naruto only have the birth marks (whiskers) on one side of his face? Is Naruto seeing into the future when he dreams? Or are they just fragments of memories as you said before? (I only ask because of the vision he had after Sasuke kissed him the first time, it didn't sound like a memory to me.) Also, the kid who yelled at him in 7/11 implied Naruto had been raped. Is that true or did the kid just not know what he was talking about? What I mean is, the implied sex seemed vague, almost as if Naruto didn't really comprehend what was going on.
Anyway, those are my many questions, I would ask more but those just pertain to the future chapters of the story. And nobody wants some obsessive reviewer asking a bunch of questions about something that would spoil the story!
Anyhow, I will leave you with these few lasting notes.

1. Your story is so supremely awesome. No really. You have no idea.

2. I made this review extra long because it seems that you haven't updated this story in several month. So, hopefully, this review will inspire you to continue.

3. You are an awesome writer, I can't really applaud you enough. Please keep up the good work and update whenever you can. Trust me, I'll be waiting and watching your fic.

4. I'm not as obsessive as I may act. Really. Please don't be scared away. ^_^;

So, there you go, my ultra super insperational review. I'll try to be more specific with certain details I like about the story when you update your next chapter! YAY! Two thumbs up!
