I am soo happy about how this story turned out! It was all very moving, and the ending made me shed a few tears (and that almost never happens)
It was so cute, and this fic made me squel the whole time!
You're such a good author! I never actually read yaoi's but this one's an exception... I loved it!

sorry for not reviewing sooner. School has been busy.

I realized that I never apologized for upsetting you in the Chapter 13 review. As I mentioned, I don't get along with conflicts and sad stuff, so when I read things like that, I might misunderstand what you were trying to write, and say things that are not appropriate. I wasn't saying that the chapter was bad.

I thought Kikumaru and his family lived in Tokyo. They his family move later?

I knew the problems weren't over yet. It's good that Mitsui tried to apologize and admit her mistakes. I had hoped she would be punished, but I guess her feelings and difficulty could serve as punishments. I did start feeling sorry for her at the end. Good job changing readers' feelings towards a character! I had hoped she would have been able to find someone else, too. For example, I had a weird idea of her getting together with Fuji.

You almost drove me to tears about Fuji going overseas. I'm glad his departure and his pain didn't aggravate Kikumaru's condition. I felt sorry for Fuji, but I'm glad he was able to find Megumi.

I had thought that Captain Tezuka and Kikumaru should have been roommates, but I guess they were afraid of being accused of bias at work as well as arousing suspicion about their relationship. Though they were willing to take the risk, it still makes me nervous for them, but I like how they still had the Seigaku spirit. Fortunately, the stress didn't affect Kikumaru's health again. I wish they had also been able to see the other regulars besides Fuji (and maybe Fuji could get together with one of them), but it sounds like they all moved far away.

I thought gay relationships are accepted, but I guess that varies by country and culture. At least I hope the society will be more open to them.

I like how you kept up Captain Tezuka and Fuji's cleverness and how well they and Kikumaru know and understand one another. It's like them to see through their friends.

I agree that habits are hard to change, and I don't think there is such thing as being too old for nicknames. That part made me laugh.

wow. its over. it feels like I've been reading it for such a long time... (maybe 'cuz i read 'when it bends') this was truly one of the few tezukaxeiji fics that i enjoyed.

And another great story comes to an end. XD Its marvelous~!

Anyway, glad, they're happy and moving on together with their lives. :D

-Kuroi-

It's OVER!

When it breaks is such and amazing story! You wrapped it up very well! I think that Megumi is a lot like Eiji and you tried to make it so, but she just seems... different (not that she being a girl has to do with much of that). Maybe Fuji did make a good choice :) Eiji and Megumi do get along well. It was so sad when Fuij had to break it to Eiji that he'll be gone for a year. Where have I read that...? Oh! In the snapshot fic that you wrote right?? I think it was call Seeing Through your Eyes or somethin like that! In that one both Eiji and Fuji had to leave for a while.

This story was well-written through and through! I liked how you had other minor characters like Taro, Nanako, and Megumi contribute to the major characters' developments. Hopefully society will take it easy on Tezuka and Eiji's future.

I'm so sad that this story's ending! Look forward to reading your others!!

this was awesome. im glad fuji is happy :) he deserves happiness

I wish them luck with life.

The sudden year long time skip surprised me... I'm glad that Tezuka and Eiji still manage to work together at the same company as before. And that Fuji found someone to be with.

Well written. Great read! Love it!

Whoo! You hit 100 reviews! And I see you're off your break! whew, I was wondering how long of a break you were gonna take, cuz everybody missed your updates :P

So it turns out that you have a little more of a story to tell. I wonder what you meant by Fuji starting his life anew ...ah... it's torturing me to think what he's gonna do! I'm so glad that the situation with Nanako has been, sort of, resolved, and Tezuka finally admits to Eiji that his wellbeing is his top priority, even over work :) Yay. I hope we hear more from Fuji in the next chapters though.

Your stories are told at a really solid pace, not too slow and not too fast. You are very good with elaborating on aspects when they're needed, and keeping others sweet and simple. In between, you add bits of humor, drama, and heaps of emotion and anticipation!!

you're a great writer, and I hope to read other works by you!
Thanks for updating on When it breaks!!
:D

nya sugoi -cry-but fujiko T_T... nya

Obviously, Nanako does not know how long Tezuka has been worrying about exactly that... I wonder what Tezuka's plans are.

It does not feel draggy to me.

Fuji... What are you doing? I'm worried... Get in touch with Eiji, will you, please? I hope you manage to come to some form of conclusion that helps you stop hurting so much!

Well written! Great read!

aw eiji and tezuka i LOVE THOSE 2 TOGETHR
:)

Tora is only reviewing coz she wants you to get 100 reviews ^^ (Becasue she is usually too lazy to be bothered to review but you deserve 100...so here!!^^) i love your work
update soon!

this story really clenches my heart..no matter how many times i reread it

awe feelings r out in the open

I was laughing about the panda part. It took me awhile to figure out what they meant. Then I realized that they were talking about the dark circles making "panda eyes," which reminded me of the flashback in Episode 18. I'm glad Kikumaru finally woke up, and was able to talk and joke around while still caring about others.

Good job showing the complexities of adult life and not being able to get everything you want in this chapter and throughout the story! That was one reason I didn't want to grow up. I really dreaded it back then, and knowing that I couldn't avoid it only made me hate it more. However, this is fiction, so I hope Fuji could at least find someone, and that Captain Tezuka and Kikumaru could at least be together. I also hope Mitsui admitted and explained what she did and receives some form of punishment. I really want the characters to explain things and get all the confusion and misunderstandings cleared up.

The story will end next chapter? So soon? I feel there is still a lot to happen, and I'm going to miss looking forward to the next chapters after it ends.

It's good that Captain Tezuka and Fuji were able to get some relaxed time, and Captain Tezuka is right about Fuji already being complicated in jr. high. Their talk about Seigaku reminded me of the series' upsetting ending, especially how the whole team can never be together again.
