La Romanesque

abuseWow. That was incredible. I love your characterization of Kasanoda and Tetsuya (whom I like but no one ever writes), and the interaction with the rest of the host club was good. I would encourage you to expand the epilogue, though, it seems too abrupt. I think it would sound better in the past tense too, and would sound more final and ending like, if that makes sense. Thank you so much for an exceptional fic.

abuseThis was... wow. I'd always adored Kasanoda, and while it's rather depressing to think of this happening to him, he really did seem too good-hearted to be a yakuza. This was brilliant, and sad all at the same time.

abuseDepressing, but in a good way.

As much as I liked the rest of the Host Club, the episodes with Kasanoda were always my favorite.

abuseI adore it. I love Ouran, but I sometimes couldn't get into the series because the characters themselves were so unrealistic. They were all children - escapists - and delusional.
Kasanoda is a raw, heart-breaking character as you've written him. I worship ever so much. I especially pet that last line about veterinary school.

abuseWow. What a lovely, poignant story. I'm glad more people are writing Kasanoda fiction-- he was one of my favorite characters in the show, and you have done him justice here. I love the tragic tale of his life, and how very resigned he was to it. For what else was there for him? Ouran was a place for all of them to pretend and escape, and I think that this piece illustrates this fact for Kasanoda-kun very well. Wonderful job.

abuseThat was very, very well written. And extremely sad, too. However, why is it a Kyouya/Haruhi? (I was looking for this pairing when I stumbled upon this jewel, and man, am I happy.) Now there's a cathegory for Kasanoda-kun.
Cheers, it's great.

abuseOh, god. This was... pretty much everything I ever wanted from Ouran fic. The fourth section just about killed me. Very, very nicely done. I love the link to the first section at the end of the fifth.

abuseI"m glad I waited to see the series with you to read this, because it's so much richer knowing who the other people are. But even not knowing them this makes a lovely short story. It's quite a tragedy, and I found myself tearing up. I really like the idea of the Suicide Room, and the history and details you've woven in. Especially interesting detail with Tetsuya there in the end. And I love how you picked up on that scene with the bird and made Ritsu a vet student. Thanks again for sharing the series with me.

abuseWell, that was horribly depressing. Good work. *sigh* This is the reason I can never get into Yakuza manga...You just KNOW that there's no real happy ending.

abuseWow. Just wow. You've done Kasanoda justice with this fic, since afterall, he *is* the son of the Yakuza boss. How else *can* his life turn out to be? It's especially sad since this character is originally a sweet person, and to see his fall is tragic - and you really can't help to wonder what his life could've been like if he finished vet school.

Thanks for the awesome fic.
