That was good.

I found myself very focused on your story from first chapter and till the last, hopefully not the final. You really put good angst from the start, and without using cheap means too. That was masterful angst. I just kept wondering, what was the reason behind this and what meaning has that. Why Nabiki dresses differently and what is it she sighs about? What happened to Kuno, Ryoga, Mousse, Taro? And what on earth is with Kasumi? Your catching solid writing style easily put me in creative mode, so through reading I devised quite a bunch of ideas, some of them of 'M' rating :)

Anyway, this story was worthy finding. It made my evening.

Author, do write more!

>>Am I chasing this guy?
>>Nope, it looks like he's chasing me.

That was good. I had to pause for a few seconds to savour this sudden development.

You know such tricks, that is a promising sign. Though I already have enjoyning your story very much.

A lecherous grin split Urd's face.
[Given the current situation and the characters I think that 'lecherous' isn't wholly fitting, though 'cunning', 'sly' or 'knowing' would be fitting.]

I make it a point in my business not to break people up when they're in love, okay? I would never do that."
[Then she won't be doing a lot of business in Nerima.]

Her clothes, which had been clingy before, were now both clingy and transparent.
[Becoming transparent when wet is something only some materials (and some colors) do. After looking up Urd, every indication is that the materials she wears wouldn't be the types that would become transparent.]

Shampoo twirled her Bonbori

[I am confused as to why Ukyou's conscripted Ranma to do this. I understand why Ranma wanted Akane to know, but in this timeline doesn't he still not care for Kodachi? Why would he be roped into doing this?]

Wow i loved it i can't wait until you update.

"It's a Wonderful Life" with a Ranma twist, and Urd as Clarence. Well written and intriguing, well worth reading.
The plot has enough convolutions that I find it somewhat confusing - and wondering how/if you can tie up all the loose ends neatly.
Good job.
Mike

Ah! I absolutely love it!

Update soon! This is awsome!

Awe, this is so sad. I bet Ukyo will burst in on them.

Nice bit at the end, though wondering what'll be the effects of what Nabiki learned, as well as how long it'll be before Akane's mouth runs off with her again, and she does something like hit Ranma for any slight she feels, which'll drive him away, as they don't have the honor agreement hanging over him now.

I'm so happy to see this story being continued! When I first read the first chapters of this story long ago, I was a bit taken aback by the harsh "punishment" Akane brought upon herself with her poorly timed words. Surely Heaven wouldn't be so cruel? Even so, I very much enjoyed your portrayal of Akane dealing with the new world she found herself in.

I want to see more. I want to see how the story plays out. She has a self-proclaimed Goddess of Love on her side, but whether she will actually end up with Ranma (which wouldn't be very fair to the Ukyou of this new universe, to be sure), or if she finds happiness in some other way remains to be seen.

Please, keep writing!

wow, I like this so far. I like the way Ranma and Akane finally meet up again. I can't wait to see what else you add.

Aw, the last scene was cute. Can't wait to read what happens next! :)

Well, I can see where the Angst part WILL come in. :D
Great way to bring in Ranma. But is Urd actually's going to help Akane keep up the Rumiko Madate? (If you don't know, I think it goes something like, 'Akane and Ranma shall always be together'.)

What a $%^ mess this is turn out to be.

Hmm, looks like things are coming along nicely, and can't wait to see how the next chapter proceeds from here on in.
