All of these fics are great, in their own way. It's nice that they differ from each other in mood/genre. Each one really fit the mindset of whoever's POV it was told from, I think. Somehow, though, they all were slightly sad. Well, they made me feel sad in that deep, spiritual way that things like Final Fantasy make me sad.

And all of them are excellent in writing and style.

Maybe Kagura should be with Chihiro? Myabe they can run in and say Chihiro was one of her photographers and they start talking about how Kaorin left Chihiro and the others 'left' Kagura.

I like the Tomo/Yomi hint too, and the way she had her photos and stuff set up. I like Kasumi too. She's a fascinating character.

It would've been nice to see some teacher yuri but we already see their lives. Maybe you should'v writtne their high school years as a twist on your other works on future and gone into past.

Either way I really love your stories. I'll read Osaka/Chiyo tomorrow.

I've read all four of your stories now, and I feel rather sorry for Kagura. It's lonely at the top, especially when you're the odd one out. They're great pieces, and really well written. I know I've already commented on one of the others already, but I just had to say some more.

Most authors either try to recreate the feel of the orginal Animes or Mangas; you've grown them, the girls, up, and shown what might really have happened in their future, and done it well. Thank you.

Kinda sad, I think. Especially getting separated from your friends who live hundreds of miles away from you. And what's worse is they only talk to each other through letters and barely phone calls. I hope this never happens to me.

Oh, this is terrific. Your Kagura characterisation is brilliant, and your writing is so evocative without ever breaking Kagura's voice. Wonderful!

I just wnat to pick Kagura up and cuddle her to death.

I like it!

Of course, the ratio of girl/girl pairings is way higher than in real life. But then again Azumanga Daioh *is* only about girls (except for Kimura-sensei :-) so I really don't see that as a problem.

What's more, the theme of this story is the price of pursuing your dreams and working all the time. That doesn't relate closely to the other characters anyway - they might as weel be boy/girl pairs, or your story might even have been written for another anime series - it would still be a nice story and a good point.

YOu should do one for the teachers. Maybe Kurosawa-sensei switchin carreers and Yukari joining her.

This was vary overdone on pairings, but all right otherwise. Again, I think Kagura deserves more reflection and background. Osaka and names is executed well, not to worry.
