Shutakets the story was to long to be unfinished

Broke my heart when I saw this story wasn't finished, it's definitely one of the best Ranma fics I ever read

I noticed this story often evades the Chekov's gun rule (not sure if that's the proper definition)
y'know, that rule that says once you introduce something, that something should impact the story later on
While there are many obstacles to Ranma and Akane's story here, a lot of the time Jiro, Happo or some other fiancé's plans get thwarted before they even start, or fail immediately after beginning
and honestly it's very cathartic, I think you did well in making all the meddling have little to no effect
After all, part of the premise of the story is that this time Ranma and Akane fully trust each other due to the different circumstances, and you showed that perfectly
There are a few misunderstandings near the beginning, but while in the original story they keep showing up again and again, here they stop after a while, and the 2 become unaffected by all the several attempts that come after
t's been 13 years so idk if the vocal minority thing you put at the end of each chapter still holds true, but i'll be very vocal and talk about this fic with every ranma fan I know, and really really hope it reaches a conclusion since it's so close
but even if that doesn't happen this still is one of the best ones, I'll put it in my document of my fav Ranma fics

SUCH A GOOD STORY! I love the idea of Ranma and Akane meeting after the manga, genius! I had a lot of fun reading it, even if it's not finished. I love how you wrote all the characters. Thank you so much!

i know for a fact this will never be updated but just wanted to drop a note and say this had to be one the best stories i’ve ever read.

there’s so much i love but the real thing that i love about this story is how clearly you got to the real reason ranma and akane work: they are simply best friends who fell in love.

i’ll never understand why people can say ranma never made a choice in the manga when the whole mange was about ranma being in love with akane. she is moody and has temper tantrums and violent outbursts but she’s also kind and funny and goofy … something he always wanted in his life, someone just to be goofy with and to feel safe knowing she will never want him to be anything but himself. that’s what i got from reading this and honestly, it’s amazing.

thank you for this story and hope you are having a good life.

p.s. oni!akane is probably a new fantasy for ranma and boy, just the imagine of a lum-like akane is making me laugh all over again lol

ah well you took ukyo out of the running but she was the easy one. too bad you never got back to this one

man this is a great story although its a shame that it lies unfinished

ok kasumi is pretty annoying

ok ill be honest couldn't give a shit about souns love life so please stop including daimonji and hinako scenes

ok so Michiko is actually a really cool oc from her description

this story can get wordy at times but its honestly one of the best in showing ranma and akane having a more natural relationship from beginning to end

It seems you have swapped Ukyo and Akane.

I'm very sad on how you write ryoga in this one :(

its 2022 now, i hope you'll able to read our pleas and update once again

A pity this has been lying dormant for a decade, when it seemingly is so close to being finished. It is a good read. And especially funny to have all these happenings of the original series still having taken place one way or another. Continuously hinted at and sometimes even summarised. So we can all fill in the gaps in our mind.

A great one.
