I promised you a review sometime ago and I suppose after nearly a year it is time to deliver.

Good News:
1. You managed to observe the rules of grammar and there were no misspelled word in sight.
2. There seems to be a plot in the story.

Bad News:
1. It is just a story. It may have no glaring fault but it also has no extraordinary features either.
2. The OC, disregarding some readers aversion in general, was abruptly introduced making the flow staggered. Beside this, her initial description leaves much to be desired. ADD DETAIL. The OC also leaves a faint impression of being a Mary Sue.
3. The situation is surreal. Why are they sparring? Give explanation. Why is the OC telling people she recently met about personal problems? Of course, it is entirely possible that she is comfortable enough to be with them and open enough. However, you lose a way to develop her character….people who are betrayed are usually wary of others.
4. The other characters are not fleshed out making them seem a groupie to your OC.

Advice:
Add more detail, describe the classroom, describe the OC. Make up an excuse why they need to go show their prowess in Martial Arts.

Remember the immortal words of one writer:
There is one difference between reality and fiction. Fiction has to make sense.

Ha, it is back to Kyu to reveal the answer, I always loved his "There's only one answer" That was such a sad story that Toya told, but I'm glad that Mr. Hashimoto isn't going to press charges and that Class Q was able to help Toya find what he was looking for. It was so sweet, there was tears swelling in my eyes, I'm glad you may it so descriptive.

Looks like it was Shizuko how understood this case from the start, but who's the culprit? Anyways, shouldn't someone have been there to save her when she fell, considering there were 5 people surrounding her? But interesting piece of information about the chimneys, is it true? I don't mean to judge you and I hope you aren't offended by this, I was just wondering so that I could keep it in mind. Sorry if it offends you!

Well you are definitely showing that Shizuko maybe smarter than Ryu or Kyu, but oh well. Hm, a new guy, that adds an extra suspect to the list.

Well I'm sure you shouldn't have may them sleep in the same beds, it shouldn't be the right time yet. But Kyu is so bad for mentioning it and making her blush. Anyways, question about her dream, did it mean anything cuz it seemed very scary and I definitely hope it was underlining something...

Oh, interesting case, a possibility of a ghost eh, plus adding a creepy looking house as a feature, cool. Ha, Shizuko seems smarter and braver than the rest of the class, but its cool, but then again, I am a feminist. I'm glad she figured out a clue already. But about the room arrangements, I know why you did it, because of the Megu and Kyu pairing, but if you put Megu and Shizuko together, wouldn't it be better for the two girls to bond?

Oh, a new person and a girl no less, but I'm glad, its another girl to add to the group of 4 guys and only 1 lone girl. Hm, a bit of her past is revealed, and it does seem quite sad, but I'm sure Q Class will break her in. Interesting comment you have about everyone blushing when they see Ryu, but I do see where you come from with that comment. Haha, Shizuko is already kicking some butt on her first day, go her! And Kyu is acting like a prevert, but that gives the story some humour, I'm liking it and I can't wait to see the case coming up, keep it up!

Yep, you did give it away in the title of the next chapter. Mystery writers should never give the game away before the end.

Interesting raffle for rooms. I thought since they have 2 girls, Meg & Shizuko would wind up together. Guess not.

Imagine Kyu doing something moronic and getting thrown outta the room by Meg. Hee Hee...

Actually, I believe class Q often pairs with class A for the judo(?) class. So no prob there.

Kyu was quite insightful, then he acts the moron at the end. Did he really have to announce Meg's underwear color? ^_^;
