i'm always glad to read about secondary character. i feelt bad for them being forgotten past the firsts episodes.

"So this year's graduating class includes an air combat mage from a family of ninja, an air combat mage who's an alien clone, the inheritor of a centuries-old tome of black magic and its Guardian Knights, a vampire raised by androids, and a half-foreign ghost. Whatever happened to the days when a transfer student from Osaka was something unusual and exciting?"

still i agree it's a little much.

the story was cute. thanks your for sharing.

on a side note even 'normal' secondary characters need love.

Despite my early disappointment of Arisa's death, I think this fic finished quite well.

Due, now that, I did not expect.

Arisa, dead?

Awww, the only filler character I liked is dead already. D:

Of course, I owe you a proper review.

Arisa was awesome-it appears that not even death can get her down, and you even make mention/use of the whole Burning Arisa business.

The connection between Arisa and Suzuka was powerful-probably one of the strongest I have seen in a good while. I owe it to the fact that my heart broke when Suzuka contemplated suicide, and the implications on the extra when she was acting as the willing energy host for Arisa's continued existence.

There was some notable comedy-like Arisa's "oh I'm dead, nothing changes." and Hayate's omake joke on that ("See look I'm talking to the dead right now!")

Enjoyed, and as previously seen, on my favorites list.

Well, this story ended pretty much how I expected, which isn't necessarily a minus. Despite my criticism about the lack of angst on Arisa's part about being dead, in hindsight, I probably wouldn't have wanted to read about it, given how long it would realistically take to resolve.

I like happy endings, and you never disappoint. Compared to your other stories, I don't know why, but I didn't feel the same sense of urgency or danger, like in your Grim Grimoire stories. I guess alot of it had to do with Arisa's ghost status - already dead, what worse could happen to her.

I liked Lindy and Arf swinging in to save the day, though I would've liked to have seen more or have them arrive a little bit earlier. I really felt for Arf's situation, hearing that she was more of a burden to Fate than an ally. It was probably the second most emotional scene, losing out to the most obvious Suzuka murder Arisa contemplating suicide scene.

The only other thing I wanted to point out was that in comparison to Arisa who had a number of supernatural powers, Suzuka didn't have many despite being a true vampire, or if she did, I can't remember them off the top of my head, though its been awhile since I've read this. I just thought I'd drop a review before I forget again as my payment for reading.

I'm pretty sure I've got this in my favorites somewhere but never got around to reading it until now for some unknown/forgotten reason.

Not sure how those mysterious observers in chapter 1 fit into the story yet. They seem like they could be the big bads/primary antagonists, but if they had really gone after Suzuka, and had known what she was, couldn't space wizards have scrounged up something better than the local rifraf? If alien mages were gonna abduct someone or something, I'd be thinking something more like close encounters of the fourth kind or "beam me up, Scotty." I mean to aliens of a more advanced society, the technology of earth must seem pathetic in comparison.

Arisa's death is creeping me out a lot more than I thought. It's funny in the omakes, but when I read about her body/corpse lying in the Tsukimura villa, I just got shivers from the idea. In the corner of my heart inhabited by the naive, little child longing for a happy ending, I'm hoping to see Arisa revive, but then realism gives me a nice swift kick in the back.

Arisa's parents were a little too understanding, though I'm not completely clear on if they fully understand what happened to their daughter or if Arisa told them the full truth. I'm leaning towards the latter because I can't really believe this happened - "Dad, mom, we need to talk. You know my best friend, Suzuka, accidently made a happy meal out of me, but its not her fault so I don't want you guys going Van Hellsing on the Tsukimuras." Because while Arisa might be understanding/sympathyzing or at least seem so because her killer was the girl she loved, I have trouble believing Arisa's parents would be equally so.

And these mentions/references of Triangle Hearts makes me want to play the game. Noel a robot? Tsukimuras a family of vampires? Awesome. There aren't enough of those out there.

Looking forward to reading the rest.

I positively love this story. Arisa and Suzuka really don't get enough love in fanfiction and this was a beautiful take on their characters. Your use of the Triangle Hearts characterizations was a real shock. The end of Chapter 2 was a huge surprise and Arisa's return from the dead in Chapter 3 to pull the sword out of Suzuka's hands gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

In short, I loved this and I hope you make a sequel. I'd love to see more of Arisa coping with her newfound unlife. Her complete and utter lack of angst over it is both hilarious and refreshing. It doesn't hurt that Arisa and Suzuka as a couple are very cute.

This was a great fic/story. Looking foreword to more of them.

Told you I'd finish it.

So Arisa is basically Suzuka's familiar now? Or something similar at least. Well, good for them. That's certainly one way to insure the relationship stays close; make sure that one member is literally dependent on the other for her very existence.

And poor, poor Arisa. Just her luck that she's still able to blush in spite of having no blood.

You know, this just reinforces my opinion that there isn't enough of Lindy kicking ass in the world. Never enough.

Well... I didn't see the end there coming, at least not until 'Elantra' started talking about scientific ventures. And the good Doctor reminds us that if one is going to be an amoral monster who destroys lives for science, please try to do it with style.

And, once again: would have been worth it just for the omake.

Ah, Professor Morris. What a charming man. Sometimes, if you really want to advance the cause of science, you have to dissect a teenager. Wait... no. That... that just seems so WRONG to me. That can't be the correct path, can it?

Ah! Of course! You have to dissect a teenager AFTER acquiring unspoiled cell samples from her intact body first. Phew, I almost approved of something horrible there.

And hey, Arf! Good to see her. Don't worry, you're not the only one who fudged timelines a bit for the sake of including a character.

Oh, Suzuka. Does she not know that saying something like 'maybe something good will come of this' insures that things will go wrong? And not just at some point in the future, but immediately? The universe loathes an optimist.

Ah, well. So Suzuka has been kidnapped again, and by people who know what they're doing this time. And poor Falin... though she put up a hell of a fight. Was she able to do that in Triangle Hearts, or were those combat abilities your own invention? Either way, it was pretty badass...

Love your story please keep going

Amd now you've got me wondering how Kyoya hides all the bite marks Shinobu leaves. Actually, it's probably better not to think too hard about it.

Cute chapter, and as good a way as any to give Suzuka and Arisa their relationship upgrade. They deserve a little happiness after the series proper ditched them, I think. Too bad for them that the beginning is making me think that it's serving as the calm before the storm...
