So angsty! Just my kind of story!

I really enjoy reading this you did a good job discribing Sato. I feel like I can relate to both characters. I really do hope you continue this story as it has just gotten to a part where I feel it needs to be continued :)

I like the sexual tension that is slowly appearing. I'm really looking forward to the two getting together! And bring back Pikachu, please! -grin-

I really love this story! A long shishi fic is a rare treat. I started reading this quite a while ago and just checked back to find chapter nine! I quickly gobbled it up and now hunger for more. Keep writing and you will be repaid a hundred fold in form of cookies and hugs. Paid in annual installments over the next five years of course. :p

This is quite nice,really.
I don't think I found any spelling errors or anything, so you're a really great at correct writing, that's for sure.
The story is also great! Please continue soon

Other than an occasional slip up between "there" and "their" I'm enjoying the story. Interesting premise and you're carrying out realistically and well.

I hope you continue =)

I like this. I mean, I really enjoy the maturity of the narration, if that makes sense. I can tell that you're the kind of write who can take some overused cliche and make it really work. Not that I'm calling this a cliche.

Actually, this is my first time reading a Shigeru/Satoshi fic. Or even a Pokemon fic, I think. I am extremely glad to have happened upon your fic rather some other poorly written joke. That sounds harsh, I know, but there are a lot of people nowadays who don't take the art of writing seriously.

I'm looking forward to seeing what happen with these two in the future. I like how its so apparent just why Satoshi has never had a steady girlfriend and yet he remains blissfully oblivious without a sudden, dawning realization.

Thank you for this wonderful story. Keep up the writing!

Please do write more, I love reading this ^^ and I wouldn't worry about the review thing there could be many reasons for it.

I haven't read the story yet (which I hope to soon) but I just want to say a great big THANK YOU for reposting this story! I was seriously bummed out when it was taken down as quality Shishi fanfiction are as rare as master balls. =)

Hey I just found this fic and really enjoyed it. I'm normally a little hesitant about first person point of view but I think you've made it work really well. I look forward to you posting more.

This is really excellent. Mature and sweet, and by far the best Pokemon fanfic I've read. Please keep it up.

You have NO IDEA how glad I am to see this story back up. I still think, as I did the first time I read it, that it's the best fanfic I've ever read.

I still love how it's slow and reserved, how it's so easy to identify myself with the characters...

I know you probably don't want it, but I can't help but comapre this version to the old one. First, I'm glad that you changed that entire name situation - although that bit when Satoshi called Shigeru's home was confusing. I admit, when I started reading I wondered if you changed it, but I just couldn't imagine Julia other than... Julia :)
So, nice excuse for the names then. I hope that for this version you won't change the POVs - as I do recall it bothered me somewhat the last time.

Are the chapters a tad shorter, or is it just me? Also, was Hanako the one who asked Satoshi to welcome Shigeru into his home in the first version? I can't remember.

In the old version I liked how Satoshi was the one to kiss Shigeru first (I'm not mistaken, right?) and I really loved Shigeru's confession then - he told everything (I do recall falling for a particular line: "you asked me who I liked, and the first person I thought about was you". Something like that, right?). I remember connecting it to Satoshi's behaviour when he was sick and afterwards, that he knew Shigeru liked him.
Now it's somehow seems... less believeable, I think, but not less touching.
I am uber-glad that you left that delrious-Satoshi scene - it was my second favorite!

I did like, however, how in this version Satoshi seemed a bit more angry at Shigeru for his behaviour, and Shigeru's confession of gayness this time around was cute, I guess. Kind of fits his cocky character :)
Oh, Satoshi, you're so dense...

I can't wait to see the next chpters - when things get a bit more heated up, if I remember correctly, and I do remember Satoshi crying because he was lonely at soime point...

Anyway, I'd love to see this story updated and finished, I really think it's remarkable.

I luv this story so much, you're such an good writer, I hope SO much that u continue this story soon, an yes, make it long, I hate read only oneshot's, and ur so talented !

...Best 'fic that I've read in years

I love how Sato is beginning to feel for Shigeru, but not exactly realizing it. I find that really awesome.

This is definitely my kind of story.

Keep up the good work.

I can't wait for more XD.

Ah! Darnit! They almost kissed! It was so close! I'm getting so excited! I can't wait to read more, so please update again soon! I hope you write in a mutual kiss scene soon because I'm going beserks with anxiousness! I really cannot wait to see Satoshi finally admit his feelings! Thanks for the update! Best of luck!
