Not a day or two ago, I lamented the lack of Kaneko fic and BAM! You release this! I'm ecstatic, to say the very least, to read one so soon. You're an amazing author who repeatedly writes HikaGo fic I've been looking for--THANK YOU!

One thing I wanted to note is that Kaneko's air of confidence doesn't have a presence in the story; I thought it might be because it's first person and she isn't that cocky on the inside. It made things a bit "off" without the outer shell there but I like what you wrote regardless. Kaneko fic! I think the date bit was done really well, I like your Mitani.

...Thank you so much for writing this!

I think there's a trace of that confidence. It's hard being fat.

Mitani tends to be poorly characterized in fic - I like him. He's soft, under his brashness. Easily hurt.

*squee* You posted ficcage! (I don't suppose you're continuing Dross or Lessons in How to Make a Bishounen Snap, are you? *encourages from the back of lurker-ville*)

This piece was sweet, but... sad. Kaneko-san's brave. :)

Been working on Lessons recently. I'm so busy it's hard for me to find time for anything recently, so no telling what will get done when.

Oh, I understand. But wow! Nice to know you've been working on Lessons. I thought it was going to be dropped. ^_^

I like the story very very much. It feels like a conscience of the soul. ............. That's not an English term. *hits head* No wonder it sounds off -- I mean... like a triumph of the soul? Too harsh.

More like it shows we all care more than words can say. Akari is a wonderful person and Kaneko isn't one to be left behind. *smiles*

I agree. Akari isn't a villain, and Kaneko won't lose to her... but it's such a dramatic triangle.

*heart!*

Wonderful fic from an underused character.

I have minimal knowledge of Hikaru no Go, but this story really touched me. Because I relate to it...so I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed it.
