seikkyokuka 2008-04-07 ch 11,	abuseHahaha that was wicked. Please continue to update!
Roses of Sharon 2008-04-01 ch 11,	abuseWow - you've stuck with this story for a long time! Two, three years, yeah? I think you've done a great job with it - Kaoru's character is sufficiently deep, Kenshin's character is sufficiently self-depriving, and Sano's character is sufficiently overbearing. Saito, too, is well written - and such a role you have him in, too! All that's missing is a Yahiko, a Megumi, and a Misao! I do hope you'll add them soon - and shall be eagerly awaiting the next chapter!
openwindow4 2008-03-25 ch 11,	abuseWOW! i hope you update soon! i especially love the phrase, "“Right,” he said, after he had got himself under control again. “So the psycho cop is on our side. One honest man and his two offsiders, in a city riddled with crooked cops. What now?” " XD that sort inspired a mental picture - a sort of "us against the world" tone - but nothing so cliche or hackneyed - i REALLY LOVE this story!
openwindow4 2008-03-25 ch 9,	abusei LOVE how you portray the psychological subtleties - especially the contrast between katsura and shishio, and how you tied in the title! you seem to be one of the few authors out there who really actually /KNOWS/ the characters and understands how to best portray them. my favorite line is "His eyes narrowed in sudden, ferocious anger, Shishio clenched his fist and contemplated smashing that smug, infuriatingly calm face into a bloody pulp. He could feel Soujiro’s blank, indifferent gaze, feel the way his most dangerous supporter watched him – and knew that he could not afford to give into anger." - it really shows the difference between shishio and tekken's relationship and katsura and battousai's relationship, and how shishio must show that he is "strong" or fear losing soujiro's support, and especially katsura's line about no one ever calling kenshin less than honorable. in all, i jut love your writing style - it's not unnecessarily flowery, and is pithy and full of plot!! you should write a book - i would SO buy it!
Demon-In-Me 2008-03-23 ch 3,	abuseUnconsciously, he rubbed at the little finger on his left hand, where the tip of the finger was missing. Fifteen years ago, when the cut had been fresh, still aching, he’d gone back to his shishou’s battered, run-down dojo, hoping for one last chance to talk. Hiko Seijuro – broke, unshaven, drunk, but still terribly, terribly proud – had seen the bandage and thrown him out, turning his back with awful condemnation. What's with the pinky thing? I don't understand... @_@?? Is this a futuristic fic? Because there are a lot of things that wouldn't be there during the Bakumatsu or Meiji eras.
MKofGod 2008-03-21 ch 11,	abuseWow! Really good job! I look forward to what happens next!
ditto's cadence 2008-02-22 ch 11, anon.	abuseFantastic! I always check in on this piece every now & then in hopes of an update, and what do you know? It paid off! Great as always, btw :D ~ditto's cadence
Fickle Luck 2008-02-16 ch 11,	abuseYou've updated! And you used the phrase "Last Honourable Man"! ...but...is Saito or Kenshin the last in question? I think Kenshin but... I hope you update faster/more/...etc! insert encouraging words
omasuoniwabanshi 2008-02-15 ch 11,	abuseDrat, couldn't Kenshin keep Kaoru with him a while longer? I suppose not, since it would imply that he didn't trust Saitoh to keep his word and Saitoh would hardly go along with the idea of Kenshin keeping her hostage. "The very memory of the last time Kenshin stood where he was now, declaiming, swearing that joining the yakuza was the best way to protect innocents, was enough to thoroughly sour Hiko’s temper." That statement goes a long way to explain why Hiko was so against Kenshin joining the Ishin Shishi in the anime. They were considered a terrorist/criminal organization during the Tokugawa shogunate. The fact that Hiko's eyes go flat at the end is troublesome. I guess that means the last Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu technique has the same end result for the master as it did in the anime? Hiko's reactions are very much in character. I like that his arrogance is muted by his dislike of what Kenshin became. He doesn't show off in this scene, it's too important for that. It made for a very good read.
SoreNoMiko 2008-02-14 ch 11,	abuseincredible story. please update when you can ^-^
Mir 2008-02-14 ch 11,	abuseAh wow, another installment :-) I hadn't realized you were still working on this. You've managed to pick up right where you left off--seamlessly recapturing the mood and plotline. As always,thanks!
SoreNoMiko 2008-02-14 ch 1,	abusethis is an awesome beginning i like how you integreated kenshin's age into the actual story instead of bluntly stating it at the start of the chapter and i think you pegged all the characters' personalities and your adjustment of kenshin's flows very well i could really picture this entire chapter actually taking place in my mind
WARL0CK 2008-02-13 ch 11,	abuseupdate! dear gods PLEASE update!!
Fenikkusuken 2008-02-13 ch 11,	abuseMost definitely worth the wait! “I thought you would be taller.” Perfect tension break in the scene. “That will do, I suppose.” Pure Hiko understatement. Very nice.
skenshingumi 2008-02-13 ch 11,	abuseI like the way Kenshin and Saito's motivations to act are connected in this chapter. All politics are local, all actions personal, after all. I especially liked the scene where Kenshin declaims that intent separates him from the Tenken. I thought it was a good move to have Saito show restraint there even though he wasn't buying it. He would see it as a chance to see inside his opponents head. I am so glad you are still writing this story. There is pathos to seeing Kenshin reduced to fighting with and for Yakuza and Hiko as a drunken city recluse that is sad yet compelling.
