Sorry it has been so long, don't think I suddenly hated this story, 'tay -.. I've just been busy with a load of projects. That aside. I loved these past few chapters! I must say you really know how to show emotions. I could really feel the emotional roller-coaster of both Haruka and Michiru through out the story. These chapters really seem to bring things together. Anyway, I'm sure you don't want to read a long review by a raving fangirl, so I'll just leave it at that. See you in the next chapter!

Oh I had lots of fun reading this! The date at the beginning was really cute. I had a good laugh at times, and couldn't help but think how cool of a 'boyfriend' Haruka would be. Any how I liked the ending a lot too. I'll see you again soon.

I ended up finishing the twelve chapters last night, I was so in to this I just couldn't stop reading 8]

Well, I fell asleep before I would review this.

Hope to see more. Well actually, hope to see the final chapter soon :D

Beautiful but depressing.

It's me again! God that was a damned good chapter. I don't think it helped that I was listening to songs like "Defying Gravity", "I'm not that Girl", and "No Good Deed". God I nearly cried at the end. I'll read more after dinner, promise!

BTW I have a huge pet-peeve and I hate to bring it up, but it bothers me. Words like 'we'll' and 'she'd' really need those apostrophe thingies. Sorry, but it bothers me.

I give each chapter a slight little clap, like they're wonderful acts to a long play. I even feel inspired to write new things of my own. None of the other stories I've read by armature authors feel me with that kind of inspiration. I'll see you when I read the next set of 'acts'.

Wow, the first part of this chapter reminded me of a dramatic musical. It was extremely well written. The second part was a pure drama where the emotions were so well expressed that I could not only see them in my mind's eye, but almost feel what Haruka was going through. I can't wait to read the next chapter!

I did notice some little spelling and grammar error.

Thank you so much for updating. I was worried you had fallen off the face of the earth. ::Hug:: So glad you are safe. :D I wish you the best of luck with finding a new and less stressful job.

Now onto the story. I loved it. Maybe I am a little slow, but I was a little confused on whether this part was saying if Haruka could face The Alley, Michiru or Anigusta.

"What was worse was that Miya faced it.. It took time, but she did it...Could Haruka?"

I was thinking Michiru, but I am still a little unsure. LOL. Haruka go owned by the ocean. I can't wait to see how it is going to end. You are an awesome writer. Keep up the awesome work.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again.(at least I think I said it) Your imagery is so vivid, it comes alive from the page. Do not think this story is stale. The scene with a young Haruka and Anigusta was beautifully touching, in an ethereal way. I love the way you bring the artists alley and all its inhabitants to life. Keep up the fantastic work, even after a long while, it has once again been worth the wait. -

Absolutly stunning work! I am looking forward to reading more the second you update. Your writing is beautiful. I wish I was blessed with such a gift, but that is what make you so special.

Your wording of the letter from Michael is beautiful. It reminded me of the the letters my grandfather wrote to my grandmother while he was away in the Navy. I wish Lady Anigusa would have been able to read it before her passing.

I am dying to see what happends next. Please update when you get the time. I am sending this fic to everyone I know as we speak. Keep up the wonderful work. Oh! Please write a mini chapter from Monsieur's POV. :)

Woot.

I am a little slow, but I have finally gotten to chapter 11!

Cathleen is not a step in drinking coffee (duh).

But anyway. I don't know what I am talking about!

But thanks for writing! It's a good story. I can't wait to see the last chapter(s).

Yay. Party!

I just took a good gander at your chapter titles.

And I noticed that all of them relate to steps in drinking coffee...except for chapter 11. I didn't know after I drank coffee i had to "Cathleen".

:O

Lol, man I must sound retarded. I better keep reading to find out about this new coffee drinking technique..."Cathleen".

the last line of this chapter was beautiful!

xD

Awesomeness!

Ack! Yet again you leave me in suspense! *pouts* I've been following this story for a while, and I do so look forward to the next parts as well as the ending. You have a talent, *sigh*. So tell me, how do you keep writing? Do you ever have trouble connecting chapter to chapter? For at times, I cannot see the middle or end of some of my works. I wish you the best, and do keep writing. Neptune's Mask

your writing is amazing. I love the imagery. Its the kind of fic you wanna read in the middle of the night when you're having insomnia and just wanna have a dose of H and M. I love how you portrayed Haruka as someone elegant yet more human. Its a different from the way I portray her but it's nice.

Sometimes ur fic tends to be too much when it comes to describing every teeny weeny details yet the story is surely original. Hope you finish this one fast!
