sure did take your time lol, good chap but becareful with the time skips. Especially at times like chapter 19's ending.

awesome! Havin alex's mom show up was great. I mean the whole nanako/alex thing still pisses me off but hey what r ya gonna do? Can't wait to see what happens next! Good luck on ur thesis by the way.

Nice way to have Kasumi move into Alex's apartment. His mom certainly seems to like her, I wonder who will breach the subject of what is bothering Alex. I can only imagine his reaction after learning that the guy he's worried about is her brother rather than her boyfriend, giving him a possible chance with Kasumi. Please update soon!

Once again, Alex has things rough. His mother isn't exactly helping the situation and I can only imagine what will come next now that Nanako is going to be upping her game.

Can't wait for the next chapter.

God damn it Alex...your mom is right...pity...

i wonder when he'll realize that Ryu was a friend, not Kasumi's boyfriend

Ok, two things:

1. I want Nanako and Kasumi to get into a catfight! I see this coming from a mile away, even though I know Kasumi will kick Nanako's ass! I really wan to see Nanako go down in flames because she's one of those chicks that flip flop all the time and keep a guy in the drama for their own amusement.

2. Alex inquires about Kasumis BF, who's hottie Ryu Hayabusa. I know she's not dating him and he's just keeping an eye on her but I still would love to see it cleared up. Though it is funny seeing him jump the gun like he does.

Anyway, keep writing this stuff! I can't get enough of Kasumi! Oh, are you going to do a Ninja Gaiden fic?

man that is good! he reminds me of squall though.

I've been reading this story since it came up and only now realize that I can review without an account...but anyways I've really enjoyed the story and can't wait for chapter 20.

Amazing, publish chapter 20 A.S.A.P. please.

Now this is a chapter with 'events'. I was a little perplexed at first as to how Alex wound up at Nanako's place in the predicament he was but you cleared that up in the same section. Much appreciated.

As for the blowjob scene, I thought it was written appropriatly for this story- suggestive as hell but not explicit. Though I did raise an eyebrow at the "Kinda sweet. You must eat a lot of sugar and fruit." Nothing wrong with that sentence, it just amused me. Apparently pineapple is best if a guy wants to make the experience more enjoyable for his girlfriend. Just for future reference of course...

I also look forward to seeing how Alex is going to resolve that incident with Kasumi and how he is still clearly attatched to her.

Well, either I've slacked off in my attention to detail between reviewing TDF and this one or this is genuinly a very good chapter on a technical level. I only spotted one thing.

When Ayane is first talking to Kasumi she said 'peeked my curiosity' in this context it should be 'piqued' which means, among other things, to arouse, whereas obviously 'peeked' is to take a glance at something.

Good job, I look forward to the next chapter as always.

I don't really fault Tecmo for canceling both games. I don't think they want to handle anymore games that were in development thanks to Tomonobu Itagaki.

As for the DOA game being made for the 3DS,the system first has to impress me first and be worth it by separating itself from the DS. So far,to me,3D is nothing more than a marketing gimmick.

I wonder what JRPGS Ayane has in her collection for the PS3 as I don't know that many off of the top of my head. Folklore is one.

So the purple haired kunoichi keeps her apartment as neat as Dante's in the Devil Factor.

I can't picture her at all collecting plushies and dolls. I guess she is Kasumi's half sister after all. And manga isn't exactly my kind of reading material.

Her 180 turn into a more sociable kunoichi highly disturbs me. Sounds to me as if Hayate or Ryu gave her a stern lecturing.

Our ever so lovable protagonist Alex has evolved his relationships with the two women quite a notch,but more with Nanako.

Unfortunately,as with Alex,that's as far as I have gotten so far when it comes down to getting intimate with a woman,only that it was with a hooker.

The lad got hammered real good.

Sadly Seiji is correct. Chronic loneliness can do a number of damage to your health physically,mentally, and psychologically.

It is about time Ayane formally introduce herself to Aelx.

I still remain neutral as to who should he choose.

However,Nanako is not going to be too please at knowing she is competing with Kasumi for Alex's affection and will pull out all the stops to win his affections.

The guy better have the number to the nearest hospital on speed dial just in case.

So, are you going throw in other DOA characters (Hitomi, Leifang, Kokoro) in this fanfic besides, the ninjas? Sorry, for asking, I'm just curious.

I hope Alex will finally get the guts and tell Nanako that they should end the lie they have at the moment.

Lie #1: Alex's feeling for Nanako had died out a long time ago(The day when Kasumi enter his life), and Kasumi is replacing Nanako in his heart. He should stop clinging on the past and have a fresh start with someone else (Kasumi).

Lie #2: Nanako is using Alex for her own selfish need to prove to her father that she can find true love despite the fact that she claiming that she fallen in "love" with Alex.

Lie #3: Nanako's old life will catch up with her one way or another, and she can't always protect Alex with empty promises. Unlike Kasumi, she don't have any martial art back up her death If she continues to pursue a relationship with Alex, she can't protect Alex or herself when her past brings some unwanted troubles to their doorstep.

Nice plot twist, interesting use of Ayane. Thanks for the update, happy holidays.
