*Smilies* Guess who? Yup, that's right, the person who literally spams your review page! I just finished the ficcy for the sixth time! WAI! It's every bit as good as it was the first time I read, and every bit as worthy of every praise I've given it in the oast, and I keep a private copy on my laptop, which is what I was reading from this time! This is such an awesome story! Words (except all the ones that make up the fic, put together in the fic's order, of course) cannot convey the emotions, and depth and span of feelings that the characters and the readers experience together in the journey of reading this fic! I love it so much, I just draw some fanart for it-if I got into a drawing which I thought could do it justice. Aah! It always makes me respect and love Kouji and Tasuki and Chichiri so much more! Whenever I feel a little out of it in my FY obsession, I just pop out this fic and read it through, and not only am I transported to another world for about forty-five minutes to an hour in which a very realistic, heart-wrenching and supurbly-written story takes place, but I'm downright obsessed with Tasuki and Kouji and Chichiri again, and I wanna watch movies clips or episodes or *something* with them in it right away after finishing the fic up!
Tasuki is my favorite FY character, with Chichiri and Kouji as close seconds, though I'm sure I've mentioned that several times by now! If you want Tasuki songs, screencaps/manga, music videos or movie clips, go visit my favorite Tasuki shrine, Abyssal Flames! The address is .com/abyssalflames/ and it's the best Tasuki shrine I've ever seen in forms of information on OVA scenes, multimedia and pictures, though the fanart area needs more submissions-send some in if you've got it! No, this is *not* my site, I'm just giving the owner a shameless plug 'cause I like it so much! WAI!
Well, guess that about wraps up this review! Please write more for FY, Kimura-sama! Even if it isn't a sequel to this fic, I'm sure it'll be spectacular! Gotta run-FUSHIGI YUUGI ZUTTO!-Threshie, your own personal spammer and 'Breaking Point' otaku beyond words V

Wow...I love this story! I would really enjoy it if you wrote a sequal to this. It was very good. Baiz then .
*sniffle* what a god story. That's soo... sad, sweet, terrible... running out of fitting adjectives for a story of that caliber. (um... you are missing chapter two...)
Konnichiwa! My friend recommended this fic to me, and it rocks! I love it! I gotta tell you it's a bit weird, but it's still really good! My poor darling Tasuki. *sniff* Twas beautiful, and written well. Congrats on a good ficcy!
Yup, it's me *again*! I read your ficcy once again! *_* I'm OBSESSED, I tell ya! I dunno what it is about this story, but...SUGOI! I LOVE IT TO DEATH! Hehe. Anywayz, no long, long, loooooong review this time around, 'cause I dunno what I'd talk about, since I've covered a ton'a my thoughts on this ficcy already in my other three reviews! Guess I'll just gush some more, ne?
Kouji is now one of my favorite FY characters! I've looked up every character shrine of his on the 'net that I can find, saved every new picture of him I found that would load right, downloaded soundclips of him, etc. Tasuki-kun's already my tied favorite Seishi, along with Chichiri, but now Kouji's stuck in my head along with them!
Doncha think Gene Starwind of Outlaw Starr looks like Kouji? Not in the hair-color, of course, seeing as Gene's hair is red and Kouji's is blue, but I mean the basic appearance. Y'know, scars on the left sides of their faces, good-looking, outlaw kinda guys. I've gotta go catch Gene on ... I've already got Kouji! Gen-chan, too!
I guess I like this fic so much because it's realistic, but sappy, gushy, angsty, WAFFY-type material at the same time! And it has awesome action scenes! And the main characters are two bishie bandits and a kawaii li'l monk with blue hair!
And because Tasuki does something other than drink, curse and argue with people! And because Kouji has a MAIN PART, Lord forbid!
AND...well, if I kept this up, I'd have been lying about that 'long, long, looooong review' commentary above, but just know that I LOVE THIS FIC TO PIECES, and that it has touched me like no other fic has managed to somehow, and that I can't get it out of my head!
Every time I close my eyes and the thought of either of the bishie bandits or Chichiri drifts into my head, I see scenes from this story playing out with them in them! I dunno if this's a good thing or not, being so obsessed with a work of fanfiction...
Anywayz, I guess from my above 'commentary*Coughcough*rantings!*cough*), you can tell that this fic was just as good the fifth tiem around as the first, if not better. I guess I'll stop spamming your review page now... Byeeee...-Threshie, and need I state that I'm an otaku of this fic?;
*Wails* Poor Kouji! Poor Tasuki! Waaaah! Er, hi again. Yup, I guess I'm just obsessed with this fic or somethin'. I read it again-that makes four times! Hehe. I guess maybe it's because it's saved on my hard drive, so I read it when I want a change from my own writing and (most importantly) a good read.
If I had a shrine or website, I'd ask to host this ficcy. I'm not usually this attached to one fic, but darnedit, this one's sucked me in and refuses to let go! I'm listening to 'Blue Freedom, White Wish' right now. It's a duet between Tasuki and Chichiri, but it's a serious one, so it almost sounds like Tasuki and KOUJI singing! Hehe. Or, at least, I'd like to believe, since Chichiri has the same seiyuu as Kouji-kun.
Y'know, just after reading this story for the first time (You know, way back about, oh, two weeks ago), I drew lots of Kouji fanart. I dunno why. Maybe it's because I've seen plenty of Tasuki pics, so visualizing him wasn't so hard to do (though it made several scenes heart-wrenching to read, I tell you!), but I hadn't seen much Kouji pics back then.
I went and searched the web, and I found about forty-eight manga pics of him (almost every single picture of him in the whole manga!), as well as a few of those rarer anime pics. Now, I guess I'll try reading this fic again sometime and seeing how hard it is to get through certain scenes since I can see the characters as clearly as a movie!
Well, gotta run, but please note that you have at least one obsessed fan out there (will you write some more FY stuff? Pleaseonegaipleaseonegai?)! 'Breaking Point' forever and ever, and if I ever make a shrine to anything even vaguely FY-related, I promise to come back and ask about hosting this there!
With sincerest regards to the Creator of this wonderful piece of fanfiction,-Threshie, otaku of DeeChan, Dyna Dee, spare, Baerwolf (he quit! *sniff and all of their fanfiction!'cept Dyna Dee's yaoi...don't like that stuff, gomen.)
Hey, it's me again. Just wanted to celebrate my third time reading this story by giving you a signed review! gomennasai for not signing in earlier! 'Aniki' means 'older brother', DeeChan! I'd email you, but I'll bet a zillion other peeps have by now, too..
I'm so glad to know that one of my favorite Fy writers (DeeChan-sama! *Touches forehead to floor likes the writing of my other favorite FY writer (Kimura-sama! *Touches forehead to floor*)! Hehe!
Once again, this story is beautiful, emotive and heart-wrenching, and it's in my favorites list forever and ever! Please write some more FY stuff-you got everybody so in character, and didn't add any yaoi, and I'm so gratful for that!
Keep that spark of wonderful friendship fanfiction alive!-Threshie, otaku of 'Breaking point' and 'Fushigi Yuugi: The Next Chapter'
Okay, I finished this last night, so I've had some time to think it over (and forget stuff). I really don't know quite what to say- I suck at giving reviews- so I'll just sorta wing it...
First off, I can safely say this is the first fic that ever made me wince and want to scream "POOR TASUKI!" at the top of my lungs.
Secondly, I am*so happy to find a fic that involved my three favorite characters (Chichiri, followed closely by Tasuki then Koji) in one fic together without a huge orgy involved _
At any rate, great, wonderful, etc. etc. story, though I do have one small question that's been annoying the hell out of me: What does "Aniki" mean! I've heard it used in a couple stories but I don't have a clue what it means! Does anybody know? Please help a poor, pitiful otaku add another word to her Japanese Dictionary
Arigatou!
Oh, and yesh, might I just say once again that this fic was dee-lightful! I think I'll shove it in my favorite folder right now...

Finally, somebody who gives Kouji a main role in a story instead of making him the sidekick! This story is amazingly in character and well-done. Poor Kouji, Tasuki and Chichiri alike! Oo You rock at writing angst! If this's one of your older stories, write a new one for FY! I'm blown away. This's the best Kouji fic I've ever encountered, and then some! Great job, and please keep writing fanfiction! The FY fandom needs you!

Wow! That was great! I really like it! I would really encourage you to do a sequel, but I know how hard it is to write a story when your muse isn't into it _ Great story, though! I love it! (Have you ever read the book "Reviving Ophelia"? I think you'd like it, there's a lot of psychology in it, but it's very interesting nonetheless) Once again, great fic!
You ignore Deanna, that was a good story! You better post that sequel! I loved this story to pieces...you've really inspired me since I've written a lengthy Tasuki story myself. Perhaps I'll go back and write another one and give my Outlaw Star creations a rest...I love the ending. I loved the whole thing...I was crying at the end, dodge ram it! Sorry this review is getting lengthy, but I loved your story too much not to. It was absolutely beautiful and marvelous. You write like I've never seen before in an author on . Good job! I completely and utterly commend you on your fantastic work!
