    chapter 18 -- Well, they get closer and closer to a honeymoon with every remove! Rin's spates of insight sprinkled with duh-stupid little girl assumptions is just adorable! Unless I guess you're the one having it done to you. Manji must feel like he's being put through a ringer!
    Um, by the way, too -- the sex? Bleeding-from-the-eyes good!! Nicely hot!

    Chapter 16 -- Well, Rin's learning a lot more than just tab-A-in-slot-B! She'll be a perfect little man-handler by the time the flood goes down at this rate! Oniisan's skills just don't include subtle human interactions, huh? This is intriguing!

    Chapter 16 -- Uh oh. Sounds like Manji's getting all emotional and 'womanly' in this one... It's funny, too, because Rin is pulling back in the face of his increased emo. I love this push-me-pull-you! Such a great condensed description of men and women!

    Chapter 15 already! I intended to write another note to you well before this but your story sort of sucked me down a rabbit-hole and I came up here! This is such a wonderful coming-of-age study for Rin! It's charming and so realistically portrayed. She's beyond lucky to have Manji to get through this with... I love the way you're unfolding her inner young woman from the girl... All the horrible swings of mood and uncertaintly mixed with convictions of her own power. It's really delightful. I feel kind of bad for Manji in all this, really. What a spot to be in! Damned either way... in this chapter, I get the impression he's sort of giving up and just enjoying it while it lasts.

    Chapter 11 -- This was funny! What an honourable lout the old hundred hatamoto slayer is! “Whatcha makin’ it so complicated for?” The perpetual male cry when presented with women's questions! LOL This just gets better and better. Rin's on her own ground in this particular battle even if she hasn't figured it out yet. Maybe the ignorance of young women regarding their own power is kami-sama's way of protecting men. A little.

    Chapter Nine -- Man, truer words! And they don't just apply to Rin and Manji. From the minute people figure out the differences are interesting and there's more to friendship sometimes than just beer and sushi, things get complicated. Rin's musings are quite to the point. It's interesting how interesting all the struggles of people to bridge the gap between each other still remains, even after none of it is very surprising anymore.

    I'm not sure if this app tells you what chapter's being reviewed... I'm on Chapter Two --

    I've seen the art that demonstrates kissing in earlier Japanese times. I've read that it was considered highly erotic and as you say here, actually considered more part of the sex act than anything else. It's odd that the more I learn of old Japanese culture, the more highly charged those pictures become -- when I first saw them I was surprised to learn they were considered risque... Now they look quite erotic, I find.

    That was a great chapter -- I liked Rin's solution to her own dilemma -- send him packing! Or at least try to and see if it works... She may be naive but she has pretty good instincts. I sort of feel sorry for Manji here; a woman in her state of mind is like a force of nature. He really won't really have that much of a choice about what happens, I'm betting.

    Motoring on through! I'm so happy to have found your work! (Small burble.)

    Thank you so much for publishing this. I can't tell you when I've enjoyed reading a story more! I love Mugen No Jyuunin and I feel you've captured the tenor and characters so beautifully! Absolutely perfect! Rin's thoughts in this piece are just so exactly the way I think her mind runs. Sorry to be incoherently !!! but I'm sort of blown away.
    "...ever since then she had wanted to put that same look on his face some day. Just before she struck off his head… " Absolutely!
    I'll be reading the rest and leaving you other notes and I'll try not to be so pointlessly burbly. But, fanfiction for this manga is so rare and this is so gorgeous. So -- that's it. Burbling over. From here on out, I'll try to be more considered and squee-free. *g*

    This is brilliant. I can sense the meticulous research behind all this... Rin and Manji are notoriously difficult to peg as far as characterization is concerned. But I think you've done a fabulous job... Manji is surly and gruff, yet there are moments where he is somewhat candid and grudgingly open. Rin still retains her naivete, but is expanding her "knowledge." I admit that I'm more drawn to dialogue and plot rather than descriptive volumptuousness... that is why I find the chapter dealing with the young swordsman to be my favorite. But your eroticism is written well. Very visceral.

    I would like to see Rin and Manji dealing with some of the other peripheral characters... Hyakurin, Makie, and Anotsu. But as this is about Rin's coming of age (and therefore sexuality,) I can see how this fic would be dedicated to the two of them solely.

    Well done.

    I really wanted to write an indepth review on this fic, something meaniful, helpful, and filled with helpful criticism. This is such a good fic it deserves more than the measly (as of today) 18 reviews.

    But for some reason, I can't think of anything... So instead, I'm going to ramble on for a paragraph or so. I hope some of it makes sense.

    I really like this fic. I always enjoy when an author dares to write a fanfic about a lesser represented series. what's even better is that this fic is so well written. It has such layers... Like in this last chapter, it's almost painful to read Rin's rant about 'not letting feelings getting in the way' because you can just feel that she's deluding herself... Even more interesting is the subtle yet powerful way you've been portraying Manji's feelings (and any way other than subtle when it comes to things that don't involve). I like the twist that you seem to be going towards... that Manji after warning Rin about not getting romantic feelings seems to be falling into the same trap himself. At least, that's where I think you're going... Your showing these layers very well for the limited pov you've chosen too... letting get insight that the pov character isn't able to get is hard to do (does that make sense?).

    I also really really really aprettiate the timely updates. Heck, I like your fic better than the actual manga (this might have something to do with me forgetting what was even happening in the manga by the time a new volume comes out... lol). I'm looking forward to more! ^_^

    I've read all three of your fics, and I love each of them. Especially this one. You keep everything realistic and that's usually very hard to come by these days.
    Can't wait for the next update ^^!
