This is the first Yu-Gi-Oh story that I've read. I only watched bits and pieces of the series, so I didn't actually consider delving into the fanfiction. However, any fiction written by the author of Wild Flower... XDD

Actually read most of your stories a few years ago, but didn't review. So sorry. This was truly beautifully written. Pacing is good, and the setting - a bookshop is just absolutely charming. I adore my coffee black as much as anyone else, so this one was perfect.

I like how you showed Serenity's stress over her family issues, it was very convincing, and true to life.

Saw you last updated in December last year - do keep writing! *hearts*

A highly enjoyable read. I loved the slice-of-life, slow-moving nature of the story, as well as the very in-character first person narrative.

Well done!

brilliant, and definitely not one of those yugioh fics where seto kaiba suddenly falls in love with serenity for no reason

this has SUBSTANCE
i also really enjoyed the political/economic discussions they had!

keep writing!
this really deserves to be called a story all on its own

Oh, wow... I just read this entire fic this afternoon, and I now have a new love for silentshipping. This was absolutely beautiful. You took your time getting the relationship going, and both Kaiba and Shizuka were perfectly in character. This has got to be one of the best romance fics I have ever read. Thank you for making my day!

Wow. This was a fantastic read. Finally, a romantic story where Kaiba is in character. Perfect character. Words cannot do this justice! A friend recommended this story to me, and while I wasn't a SxS shipper before, I am now! It was so subtle and written so elegantly...Gah, so intimidating!

Awesome, just pure, unbridled awesome. You get super special awesome props! Thank you so much for writing this!

I know you already have like, 800 reviews, but I couldn't resist. This is by far the best fic I've ever read for Silentshipping--I've had such a time finding decent ones, they've all had the cliches you mentioned (which I'm tired of) or had both characters horribly out of character. I'm actually writing a SxS fic, and I like to think it's fairly original for now though it does include the cliche of Kaiba-and-Serenity-sneaking-around-her-brother just because Joey's my favorite character and I love him. By the way, I loved the offscreen Joey/Mai ness. It made me squee. At least I think it was Joey/Mai. It was, wasn't it? *pleading eyes*

I also liked how it was purely slice of life, that made me happy. It was well-written, I loved the wry humor, and it was just generally the best I've read. I'm about to stalk your profile to see if you've written anymore--tee hee. I'd also like to recommend my own fic to you but actually yours' is so good, I'm embarrassed in front of such greatness. But it's up to you, I do hope you keep writing, and I loved the economy talk even though I didn't understand a word of it. :D
Ja mata ne!

enjoyable to read. i've watched yu-gi-oh many a time, but never really read fanfics about it. so this would be my first, and you've made a good impression. :D

i never really knew i supported setoxshizuka until now (because i wasn't into the fandom of yu-gi-oh pairings much), and i must say that you've really given Serenity some personality. she doesn't seem half as blah as she seemed to me in the anime. hurray! :D

I took the time to read this story. It's quite late right now and I have only finished the story.
It was very comfortable to read I must say. I really didn't notice any rushed parts and I even must say that it was also calming to read.

You're right about the clichés. This was the first story I ever read of YuGiOh, let alone a SxS story, but although the pairing isn't likely (HELL, THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE) you made it sound very plausible.

So thank you for this story.

I probably have already reviewed this story...but I want to tell you again how muh I love it. The slow but steady pacing of the plot, the characters dialogue...all of it is as relaxig and addictive as milk tea. Whnever I'm feeling stressed or burned out from school or aily life, I like to reread this fic. I think I'll go recommend this on TV Tropes.
Keep writing! You have a special knack for it.

I love this story! It's my favorite yu-gi-oh story of all time! It was so perfect and sweet and awsome!

Great story, first I'v read in a long time(and believe me, a long time) where kaiba isn't occ, my faveorite part is when he dragged her to the back and taught her self-defense moves, I thought that was pretty in character, getting angry:P but I also like the pace, as well as the description of the coffe-place from kaiba's view, and how after a while he started it calling the cafe "our" world. But quick question, did you mean for her name to fit so perfectly with the cafe? As in Serenity is her name and kaiba and her escaped every sunday to the bookstore because of its tranquilility, and "serenity?" I don't know jsut wanted to mention it, anyway great SXS story!

This was absolutely fantastic! I thought it was very typical of Seto in the way he acted. He wasn't overly mushy and he still had his distinctive personality. Absolutely fantastic job! I should have reviewed sooner, since I can't honestly remember all of the details. If I did, I'm sure I would make this much longer. But do believe me in that I really enjoyed this and if there was a sequel, that would be fantastic!-Jess

As much as someone who understands business probably hates this phrase, I have to say it;

This story is pure gold.

I've never even considered the pairing before (but then, I'm a YGO newbie, strange as that may seem), but you make it seem plausible... and I do so like the picture of Kaiba's face when he realises that he doesn't know who she is. Sorry I can't offer any more in depth C&C!

absolutely superb.

awesome! that was the best seto/serenity i've read! i love the whole no name concept!
