Eight years since the last update, I'd say the story is dead and gone. RIP.

can't wait for the next chapter

ijpowers92, My guess becoming a Shiatsu Master.

I first saw this story maybe 10 years ago, I read chapter 1 and decided not interested in another Ranma (senshi) x Akane (senshi) story. I have ignored it since but boredom does make even that you ignore interesting.

This is probably the first Ranma x Haruka story I have ever read, and fairly well done. At least the first where it was not some sort of harem story with amazingly Ranma (often male) having all the outers as members of the harem. (Sorry I subscribe to the nature side of nature vs nurture. I will admit with enough nurture you might make sexual liaisons acceptable even if nature disagrees but it will take work and probably never achieve passion, just tolerance and acceptance).

Comments:
The basic story is very enjoyable but ...

I think you keep restating things. Yes, you have angst, but fear of rejection does not need to be repeated in some areas almost every paragraph if not every sentence.

Not every scene must be written from the view of every person (or almost every person) present. This is true especially if you are going to have everyone repeating the same angst over and over.

This is possibly the first story I will make this comment about. It is being drawn out too much. You are 127,549 words/12 chapters into the story and less than 24 hours has passed. It is like reading Joyce's "Ullyses".

I think the story is dead. This might be due to author death, author disability, author forgetting, or author disinterest anymore. No activity has been seen in over 5 years almost 6. I really wish some one (preferably one of the better writers) would adopt this story and finish it.

Are you going to finish this great story

"Good morning Michiru-mama".

And my squee shattered the windows. Kidding, I have throat problems and nobody notices when I do that.

i love it

I trying to figure out what Michiru did with her Naban Mirror trip.

This surprisingly original and good story should really be finished.

Such an original, complex and suspense-laden story. Sadly, it looks like its dead, dead, dead. Remember, every time a fanfic gets discontinued, God kills a puppy.

Great story sofar, and the only complaint I have is the constant capitalition of the L in long.

what's with that?

Ok, first off, I want to say that this is an amazing story. Probably one of my favorite "Ranma as a Senshi" stories so far.

To be honest, I hadn't read yours until you mentioned it when you reviewed my "Amongst the Leaves" story, and I'll admit that the reasons for our respective Ranma's for "Going Girl" are fundamentally similar. I have a few differences that I haven't revealed in my story, but I've only released the prologue so far so that's to be expected.

Now on with the review!

Love the story. The emotions of the characters drew me in. That said, you might be able to cut back on the character introspective just a little as it gets a bit long winded at times and you tend to repeat things you've already said two or three paragraphs beforehand. My advice would to try and write it so that the characters reactions to the different situations tell what they're thinking. That way you can fit more "time" into a single chapter instead of taking twelve chapters to go over the better part of two days "story time". It's your story though, and you can write it how you want to write it regardless of what I say.

I also noticed a few places where the order of words in a sentence was reversed from what it "should be", which made reading those parts a little odd, but it wasn't all that often. Other than that I didn't really notice any grammar or spelling errors so you're good there.

Now to the story itself.

To be honest, I didn’t figure out that Ranma had used the Nabann Mirror to travel back in time until I was already three or four chapters in. I spent much of the first while after you introduced Kasumi as being Michiru's childhood friend wondering just how the heck that was possible and after I figured it out I couldn't stop beating myself on the head for forgetting about it.

Then came the inevitable trap that Ranma/Michiru caught herself in. I agree that if she wants to make her relationship with Haruka last she needs to be completely honest with her, but I can also see how she would be terrified of revealing the whole truth. Chibi-usa already knows of course, and the only thing I can really see Setsuna being even a little upset about (Once things are explained fully anyway) would be her use of time travel. Hopefully Ranma will get off lightly with that because of her more or less active efforts to reduce the impact she had on her life as Ranma, both through her relationship with the two elder Tendo sisters and her coaching Nodoka how to act when around the Tendos.

It's good that she at least came partly clean with Hotaru, but she still needs to confess to everyone else.

Now, dealing with her past life... I'm wondering how everyone will react to finding out that she locked herself. Happosai is bound to say something about Ranma "Going Girl" when he gets back to the Tendos. But will he say anything about Ranma changing her name to Michiru before Nabiki has a chance to begin "damage control"? And how will Nabiki react to finding out that her longtime friend is the same person as the friend she thought she had lost three months ago? The reactions of the Rest of the NWC are up in the air too, but one thing I can tell with almost certainty is that violence will somehow be involved before things settle down for good. Still have no Idea what Ranma's going to do about Ryouga, but my guess would be something to do with formula 411 Shampoo, mind altering pressure points and a severe beat-down/reality check. Any way it goes though, I doubt that Ryouga will ever be able to practice martial arts once Michiru is through with him after what he did to her daughter.

The only thing I'm really worrying about is seeing that you haven't updated this since 05. It's a great story and I really want to see how it continues. How soon will Ranma confess to the rest of her family? To the rest of the Senshi? How will everyone react to finding out that once upon a time she was a he? And in at least Makoto and Haruka's cases, not just a "he", but THE Ranma Saotome? And what about after all of this emotional baggage is aired? What about the coming War with the forces of Hell itself? Because I have no doubt that by the time it's over it will have been a WAR…

this story, like many others, is simply amazing to me. it, along with contrast match, are the only good Ranma as neptune stories I've read. i ask nay i plead that you update because i have noticed that you still visit the site seeing as you have favorite stories that came out after your last update. so i plead you to update ask quickly as you are able to if you would be so kind as to appease the masses.

It is a great story, personally I wish you would continue the story, but I get the feeling that you have long abandoned the story, but also and joined the job world.

I think it is a great story keep up the good work

This story is hilarious, interesting, original, touching, and unique.
