I'm not a Ryoma/Sakuno shipper (because the gay blinds me) but this was a great manifesto, a very nice read. Good work!

[bobbissimo]

The gay blinds many (yours truly being a wonderful example) but I thank you for reading despite not being a RyoSaku 'shipper. Hee~

[_miyuchan_]

Aww this is really good. I'm just sorry that since there is a limit word you couldn't put the wonderful scenes at the end of the anime, you know when Ryoma asks Sakuno to keep the ball and then Sakuno gives him also the second ball with all the senpai behind making fun of the lovebirds.
But other than that yay I love the love triangle too I hope that Sakuno will appear in this match since Ryoma now is playing again Kintarou.

Thanks for the great job!

[waka_laka]

I was going to say that. That, for me, was the #1 RyoSaku moment, when she gave him that ball.

I still really enjoyed reading this anyway, Freya! Good job! (alas, I have no icons with Sakuno OR Ryoma in them. Che.)

[bobbissimo]

There are so many #1 moments for me. I can't seem to fit them all into one place (as demonstrated.) XD;;

Is Katie-chan convinced that this 'ship works yet?

[waka_laka]

Oh I think it could work, I just wouldn't ever ship it. I like Ryoma with Atobe, kthnx. ;D

I love you!!!!! a defense for his pair is what we needed, I congratulate you! hope you fangirlsm for this pair won't ever ever end *_*

I liked the given name of ponta pair, and you're so right....if other pairings has their dumnb name, why ryosaku can't?I've always wondered how could we name it....BUT NOW I KNOW X3

i have to say that, even if I am a fan (huge one) of this pair...I didn't like that much episode 34 >.<....yeah it's wierd...but In my opinion I think that Sakuno was leveled to worst... it was only a day to attend her racket not a date, and she knew it... blame on tomoka >:O

I just hated how tomoka ignored her when ryoma was with kotoha in the infarmary....SHE IS NOT SUCH GOOD FRIEND, YOU WON'T EVER LEAVE A FRIEND ALONE OR IGNORE HER FOR A BOY...MOST IMPORTANT IF THE BOY IS A SNARKY ONE...

...that is what I think, some people says that sakuno is obssesed with ryoma...I ask them...HAVE THEY REALIZED TOMOKA'S BEHAVIOR TOWARDS RYOMA??!!

whatever -_- RyoSaku forever pontapair!

Re: arihdni

[bobbissimo]

Heh, thank you. I think I'll be fangirling this pair for quite awhile.

I'm going to disagree with your opinion on Tomoka, though. Yes, she's very much a spaz at times and set in her ways, but I don't think that makes her a bad friend. And plenty of girls ignore each other for boys. It's called being young and stupid. *shrug*

I wouldn't say Tomoka's more obsessed with Ryoma HIMSELF, other than what he is. Someone she idolizes and supports. Naturally she'll want to fend off someone who looks threatening toward Ryoma, and he doesn't seem to mind, so eh. Why not? I think it's pretty humorous.

But I do agree in that Sakuno isn't obsessed with Ryoma, not at all. I mean, yeah, she gets a bit on the blushy side when he's around, but I'm sure she has better things to think about in her spare time.

XD! well...which ryoma fan doesn't blush when see ryoma?

[takewing]

Well, I was entertained. :> ...and surprised to see my fic rec'd. >.>

[bobbissimo]

I'm awed by your RyoSaku prowess, Missa-bear.

♥ ♥

[takewing]

...I wasn't really aware I had any. But YAY. :D

Great manifesto.

[bobbissimo]

Well, now you know. Be proud!

Thank you. ^^

i liked it. i only caught 3 typos, pretty darn good. the biggest ones were your usage of et cetera. it's supposed to be shortened to 'etc', not ect. you put a lot of work into this though, and it really shows.

because there is a content limit, this does feel incomplete, but i think you did a good job of utilizing the space you had to work w/. i'm not sure if you photoshopped the images and put the white text on them or not, but i also think that they were pretty nifty.

thanks for pimping out rlsp. =) if you'd like to pimp it out some more, maybe you'll want to put down our ff.n forum: http://www.fanfiction.net/f/131759/
we're always open to new fans.

[bobbissimo]

I thought I was a bigger typo queen than that. Guess I'm finally getting better! XD

I'm glad you enjoyed this. I've been working on this since December, so the work'd better show! And I know what you mean about it feeling incomplete. I feel like the RyoSaku 'ship in general kinda is, though, being that it's one of those that's up to the interpretation of the fans and doesn't really go anywhere (but you so want it to. Ooooh.) Err, if that's nowhere near what you meant then I'm just being a yammering 'tard. ^^;;

Yep, I photoshopped most of the images that are outside of links. Just me trying to show off my mad graphic skillz (pffft, more like I really don't have a life, but who's keeping track.)

You're welcome! (How could I not pimp it?)
