Oh this is hilarious! I missed it at the contest but I'm glad I didn't miss it when you posted this! I love all the random NEWS characters - but since I don't know them very well, I'm just amused by their antics. I'm sure there's references I'd have cracked up at if I knew them better. The Arashi appearances were absolutely classic - my favourite has to be dragon!Matsujun followed by Aiba with his green peppers.

And willy Nino was adorable! 7 tails! Now 8! And Sho was absolutely lovable and cute and hopelessly earnest like he is! And I love how Naka Riisa and Nino are related and you made them so similar even in their mannerisms ;)

This has to be hands down my favourite line, despite the fact that it's relatively random:
“When something’s over a hundred years old it gets a bit hard of hearing,”

And did I mention I love your Sho? (:

And I just clicked on the wiki link and realised how this related to the various folklores o.O You are brilliant o.O

Hello! I'm really happy you enjoyed this - random NEWS cameos and all. I had a ton of fun working on this fic based on all the folklore (mainly from wiki, haha), so it's lovely to hear that you liked it. Thank you for reading and for leaving this wonderful comment! ♥

I hope one day, you'll write something from this universe again. Sho after all would probably have more adventures (I don't think he can return to normalcy after that) XD

iawtc. I want to see him slaying some oni, only succeeding through sheer accident, of course.

only succeeding through sheer accident, of course.

Of course!

That can be arranged, at some point in the near future. :D Glad you enjoyed this! ♥

This is so hilarious, I love japanese folklores^^ and I'm glad I know most of them. I love everyone in this story, they're really funny.
Sho is urashima tarou, lol bad kame for not finding him XDD what about Sho's reward then?
And I have to say this to, I love your Sho&hearts and also your Ryo! he's so funny and tiny XDDD
Love it so much&hearts

I'm delighted you enjoyed this, knowing most of the folklore! Yes, Sho never got his reward, but I suppose Nino'll probably claim it on his behalf one rainy day. :)

Thank you for reading and commenting! ♥

THIS.

THIS...

THIS is possibly the most perfect fanfic ever.

Not only is it full of all my favorite mythological and folkloric characters (Nino as a kitsune! Koyama as a kappa!), but you also managed to work in:

A) The origami boat!!! <3 <3 <3
B) AIBA'S PEPPERS
C) Sho/Maki!!

If I could marry a fanfic, I would marry this one.

You are very kind! I'm really glad you enjoyed both the folklore and D no Arashi references (and the ninja Sho/Maki, lol). Thank you so much for reading and commenting. ♥♥
