Anon, I wonder if you've watched the kdrama Master's Sun, because bits of this (especially the beginning bits) remind me a lot of it. And while it remains one of the best kdramas I've ever seen, stupid last two episodes not withstanding, I feel like I love your Keiko as a nonchalant, ghost-seeing heroine so much more! I love that even though she's a hermit, she's best friends with Shihori (sunshine and moonbeam are the cutest bestie nicknames EVER, btw) and that she wants to do everything for Shihori, even de-ghost the restaurant of her purple-pants-wearing boyfriend. All the relationships in this were really great, from the besties Keiko/Shihori, to the obnoxiously adorable Jun/Shihori, to the poignant Keiko/Yamapi, to the hilarious then sweet and hilariously sweet and then SUPER SAD but then you made it all better Keiko/Sho. The ongoing themes of storytelling, (falling) stars, rebirth, and travel really resonated throughout, and that last section all about Keiko's travels was especially well-written and so great in that she was, finally, living her life as she wanted (instead of pining away) and not through the demands of her parents/friends/ghosts, but still, believably, inevitably, thought of Sho. (Either you're well traveled yourself, anon, or an excellent study! I totally believed Keiko was everywhere you said she was.)

In short, this was gorgeous and lovely and if all Sho/Keiko fic involved ghosts somehow, I would be totally okay with this! ♥♥♥
