Hi! I'm Anthony. I have just read the HARD KOR and finished Book A. I found that the writing being very good. Nice job! But I have some doubts about the naming of characters. In Book A, Ayukawa Madoka addressed Kasuga Kyosuke sometimes as Kyosuke, while sometimes as Kasuga! Also, I think in some part you mixed up the family name and given name: Kasuga is the family name while Kyosuke being the given name. As a result, Ayukawa Madoka calls Kyosuke as "Kasuga-kun" in school lives as she regard him as either social equal or inferior. At the same time, Kyosuke named she as Ayukawa (calling the family name) because she is his angel and he respect her but at the same time he was reluctant to address formally as Ayukawa-san. Until they have sex, they changed calling each other as Kyosuke and Madoka. That's only my viewpoint. Anyway, you've done a good job. Keep it up!.

I have recently completed your Hard KOR series in its entirety and I must say I am very impressed with it. I especially enjoyed some of the interesting twists and turns of the plot and scenarios, they were a refreshing change from some other Fics that I have read from the KOR continuum that make light of the love triangle. In that I think you made some very progressive slides. I am writing to inquire on the development of the Third Book in the series, I hope that it is progressing well. I am a very amateur writer myself, and if you would like I could be one of you beta readers. For the moment I have not had the courage to publish any of my works but am most happy to help other more prolific writers. In any case, I commend your work on the Hard KOR series and look forward to seeing its completion.

Thanks,
Neal Leyendecker

Being a brand new fan to KOR (I just found out about it less than 6 months ago...) I am trying to read as much as possible about it. I just spend two days (hours and hours off and on) reading and really enjoying your FanFic and hope you someday get the chance to finish it. You seem to be able to capture the emotion of the characters very well. I hate to admit it, but at one point in Book A, I found myself trying to hold back tears... When Hikaru was thinking about Yuusaku, and visiting his grave. I like the way you are playing Ryusei against Hikaru, and want to see how it comes out. I noticed the last date was Sep 96, so you must be pretty busy, and I can certainly understand that. Well, good luck with it. Thanks for writing it.

Hello. After I did the obligatory signing of the guestbook, I decided to E mail you directly. Just wanted to make sure you knew how impressed I am with your story. I await the continuing of it soon. It is a grand mystery, and I can't wait to see its resolution. I didn't really know much about KOR, except what I saw in the OAV series. However, you do a good job of developing the characters so that you don't need to have much of a background on them. Anyway, keep up the good work. Sincerely, Robert

Just read got its good. I'm starting to get some ideas on just who Ryusei really is based on what currently happening in the Prelude chapters.

The story's coming along pretty nicely and I have two corrections for you. It has to do with your use of honorifics (-san) in the fic. I am not very good with Japanese but all the language books I have detail the proper use of honorifics in Japanese. And with the family name of Kyousuke.
