I also wish to protect Don Kanoji! :)

I really hope you guys haven't abandon this. One of the best Bleach fanfics I have read and it would be a shame not to finish it. Not just for the readers sake, but also because you both deserve the feeling of accomplishment of finishing an epic piece of fiction after having invested so much time lovenly cultivating it.

love it

I am usually not a fan of non-canon pairings, but you officially changed my mind. I hope you can continue writing this fic. I'll be waiting!

dude when you are gonna update next?

I'm curious what does Amanogawa mean anyway? I tried using Google trantslation to find out and I got nothing, thought there's a good chance I screwed up. I'm asking because in almost all the bleach stories where Orihime gets soul reaper-like powers her zanpakto is dubbed "Shun Rikka" so I'm very curious what Amanogawa means and what her powers are.

sorry, random critique:

*******"Hado 33, Sokatsui!"

The hollow and Tatsuki turned their attention to Rukia. The short shinigami formed a red ball in the palm of her hand. The energy barely made it a meter before it fizzled out and became nothing. Rukia stood their shocked and utterly baffled. She had spent so long in this gigai and her powers were only getting worse. A simple Hado shouldn't have been that troublesome.******

Rukia here says hado 33, sokatsui but your description is hado 30, shakkaho(is it 30? I think it is lol). sokatsui's are blue :)

other than that I love this story so far :)

Really, your story is amazing. Brilliant. It's a shame you don't update anymore :(

I love this story!

Interesting story you have here. I like what you've done with Inoue's character and find the interaction between her and Ichigo interesting, if a bit over the top (although I'm an IchixRuki fan myself- but then again, I haven't read a Bleach romance fic that isn't over the top, and I do think you did a good job making it more believable than most if not all others I've read. Kudos). Not a big fan of the harsh language, but otherwise I rather liked this. Love Hollow...but that's me. ; He's my favorite character.

This is an absolutely brilliant story. I do hope you update again soon...

Wow, this story is really incredible, the way you guys are able to show such deep emotion with words is what really connects your readers to the story. I cannot wait until the next chapter (though I understand that may take a while since these chapters are so long). I cannot wait until I can read what you came up with next. Also, your attention to detail is really helpful in order to really visualize exactly what is happening in every scene. (I am also glad that you seem to take care in looking for typos and such throughout your work, that certainly makes it easier for the reader). Anyway, I loke the pure emotion that you can evoke from a few words. Keep up the great writing!

I gotta say, so far this fic is a giant bummer, but incredibly interesting. Maybe this is just me being new to Bleach fiction, but the story definitely seems to be in the top tier.

Honestly I am astounded. It was wonderfully written and full of emotion and even had a twist at the end. Keep up the excellent work. Would have used good but good can't describe it.

I really like the story so far, I look forward to the next chapter.
