What I've never understood is why the fandom is so ** Seisou!Kenji. Everyone says he's a spoiled brat in the OVA, but honestly (in that time line), I feel sorry for him. Why should he love a father who's never around and makes his mother miserable? Everyone else may put Seisou!Kenshin on a pedestal, but what has he ever done for Kenji, other than sire him?

I thought that was beautiful and so well crafted. You really showed such character development in this capturing in dialog, actions and thoughts the many stages of Kenji's growth. I think your writing continues to mature. I would never guess this is your first attempt at first person. And I say all this praise as one who dislikes Seishouhen. It just goes to show how a good writer can turn the sow’s ear.

It was a good angst. With just enough Kenji+Chizuru waff to balance it out.

um yayi enjoyed this one ..and oh the girl's name isn't said during the thing but id you go through the credits her name is there it's chizuru or somthing..it's the name everyone uses for kenji's wife..the one you used

Beautiful and sweet. =) I enjoyed reading this very much. And the title's nice, too.

I always found that Seishouen was sad, even if it was quite realistic. I prefer the manga, I suppose, and the manga seemed quite realistic to me, too...I only hope that should the manga have continued, it wouldn't have gone on to be like Seishouen.

Thanks for sharing this lovely writing with us!

Good luck.

I love counting the stars, too. Good luck with your father.

^_^
=( for the sadness

hey, I think thats a beautiful story. Nice exploration of character, if not 100% satisfying in that area, but then, no one really knows Kenji, so he's kinda hard to work with.

getting side tracked. Just writing to let you know i appreciated this story. Even brought some tears to my eyes for what thats worth :)
