I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful read that was. I thought your story was original, the characters were fleshed out with universal emotion to their unique setting, and the short and simple plot worked out great in this contained fic. One of the best short stories I've read in a long time in the fanfic world, and hands down the best BAV story I've read so far. Hope you write some more.

Only thing I thought that could be improved was some of the confusing and jarring perspective changes of the interactions, specifically when Kannonji is meeting up Tanya's brother. Also some minor past/present tense contradictions.

I really loved '100 Meters in 14 Years'. Choosing to focus your tale on Tanya, through Kannonji's eyes, was simply inspired. It was so unique and engaging; I enjoyed it a whole lot.

I know that this is an older story of yours, but I think you should go back and edit it a bit. There are several mistakes with plurals- womEn should be womAn, and apostrophes are misused. Also, there are a couple of times where the perspective changes from first person to third person (and vice versa).

Otherwise I think this story was fantastic. You really captured the personalities of the characters, and the spirit of the show. Battle Athletes is such a beautiful, underrated series, so it makes me really happy that there is such a wonderful story in this small category. ^_^
