abuseI always enjoy rereading this story every once in a while. My first time was after watching the Midori Days anime. I felt like doing it again after I finally got around to reading the manga version. Things I didn't get before suddenly make more sense and I applaud your decision to make Satoshi the mastermind.

You write Seiji very well. His anger and desperation comes across very strongly. Your Midori is both sweet and feisty, the combo of her 'real' self and her ideal personality. And I hope she remembers her very good point that Seiji wanted to change and actually did change before he met Midori. She just sped up the process in bringing out the sweet kid he used to be.

abuseWow! That was a long chapter! So much action!

Miyahara really shone in this chapter! I really loved the way he managed to get the info and fight off Yoshizaka when he took him by surprise. My favorite Miyahara moment for this chapter was definately "He couldn't wait to tell Lucy about this one". That had me grinning from ear to ear.

I also liked the Seiji/Miyahara interaction where Seiji thanks Miyahara for taking care of the rest of his attackers. It's so characteristic of Seiji to not realise how much his thanks means to his underclassman!

Okay, enough Miyahara fangirling! The other sections of this chapter were also very well done. I'm terrified for Midori and quietly cheering Kouta and Iwasaki on! Yay for Iwasaki and her display of girl power!

Please take all the time you need to really polish the next chapter. Its all building up to boiling point and I know the Seiji/Kiriyama showdown is NOT going to be pretty. Especially not if Seiji catches sight of the way Midori has been roughed up!

I started reading this fic for the sweet Seiji/Midori interactions but I'm finding all this action thrilling and very nerve-wracking! Once this fighting is resolved, there still is a heap of problems for the young couple to face (namely, Midori's mum...who will be ** off when she sees the state of her daughter!). Hopefully heaps of opportunities for fluffiness?

Yikes! Longest review ever!

Keep up the awesome pace!

abuse...Argh! What a place to leave the chapter! Complete cliffhanger!

Seriously, I think that I was just about hyperventilating there at the end. Kiriyama's rant was just excellent, you really pinned what motivated him and made him express it passionately and violently.

I think I freaked a little upon reading the last line too. Really.

I am liking the slow build-up on the Kouta/Iwasaki relationship. And I really liked the insight on what Kouta was thinking and feeling (both towards Iwasaki and the crazy mixed up stuff about Midori and Seiji).

Yay for both Seiji and Miyahara laying some smack-down on the bad guys. I'm particularly impressed with the descriptive writing on the Seiji-fight. I could very clearly picture the action. Manga style.

Keep up the good work!

abuseI think you're doing a good job with the pacing. There's enough focus on all the different people that the chapters are interesting to read, and it carries across the sense of a lot of action going down. This fic is a lot of fun. :D

abuseGah! The show-down draws ever closer!

And again- speedy update! Thank you so much for this fic. And thank you for calling my reviews 'spirited'! For some reason, that made me grin.

This was another very good set-up chapter for the upcoming action. Seiji's barely controlled homicidal anger at hearing 'the plan' was incredible! I guess I'm just a Seiji fan-girl (and really, who isn't) but I really can't get enough of the way you write him.

I really loved Midori in this chapter as well. She's showing more and more of that fiesty persona that we all loved in MnH but its not clashing at all with the meek 'real' persona she has.

Also, Iwasaki liberating the boys from the locker injected a bit of levity to a chapter that is otherwise foreshadowing some dark events. I like how the boys scrambled to explain how it 'wasn't whatever she was thinking'! I half-expected Miyahara to pipe up with "I have a girlfriend!" as he's so fond of relating but it was still pretty classic!

Thank you again! Staying tuned for the next chapter!

abuseNuts, forgot to add this to my first review for this chapter:

I am intrigued, INTRIGUED I say, about the 'original locker scene'. Now I'm going to be speculating about who the third locker buddy would've been forever. Plus, it was hilariously funny as it stood so THREE people + limited space = comedy gold. LOL just had to say that!

Oh well, onwards!

abuseWow! Update so soon? You'll spoil us readers silly!

Good set-up chapter, though now I'm really anxious to find out what those punks have got planned for Midori. Some nice interaction between Kouta and Miyahara too, I never thought about how they would treat one another if they should ever meet but I think that your scenario is probably bang on. I LOVED that "Miyahara fought down an urge to slap himself for finding the boy cute" Best. Line. EVER!

And also, great work on giving Narushima character! You were given very little to go on from the manga but you've retained his likeable honourable personality.

Seriously though, once Miyahara tells Seiji about whatever "the Plan" is for Midori and himself, I'm anticipating he'll go nuclear. And I'm definitely sticking around for that.

Thank you again for posting this wonderful fic.

abuseWow, that's amazing. Just yesterday I re-read every chapter of your amazing MnH fic and thought 'I wonder when there will be more of this,' and today here it is!

I'm loving this story. This chapter I was a little excited to see a glimpse of feisty!Midori when she first stood up to the punks. And I was even more excited that she remembered a couple of things from being Seiji's right-hand-gal.

I'm also glad that you're using characters from the manga and giving Miyahara and Shingyouji a role in your fic. Everyone is kept marvellously in character! I can imagine each character saying/doing exactly what you've written so good job!

Anxiously awaiting the next chapter and Seiji's reaction to Midori's second kidnapping (and some actual rage from the Mad Dog!) but I know these things take time. As this chapter was well worth the wait, I'm sure the next one will be too!

Cheers
