WOW...
I just finished reading this story, after starting the first few chapters a few months ago and never getting around to reading it again. I must say, I am very impressed. Although I would have liked a more explosive way for Antionette to let Gendo leave, but oh well.

As for the poll:
1.) Fav char: Kanako or Minako. Not sure atm, but both are so awesome! *_*
2.) Fav Pairing: Oh...toughie...Either Gendou/Kanako (who I rooted for from the very beginning) or Minako/Hodaka (shoujo-ai rocks my socks. the bit of sci-fi was refreshing as well.
3.) Fav chapter: another toughie...I want to say that Chapter 29 was my fav, but then with so many people saying that, I'd have to go with the chapter where Gendou and Kanako first kissed, AKA Chapter 26: Of Cake And Ice Cream?.

Well, there we go! Great job on the story! Definitely one of the best stories I have ever read! Keep up the great work!

that's a very interesting first chapter. I like this world you've set up, and the characters are intriguing. I thought the game at the beginning was halo at first, it seemed very similar. I look forward to the rest of your story.

The beginning of the story is fairly interesting, since the script format gives it a different feel. However, I will have to disagree with the people who think that the dialogue is authentic. While online, most people are too lazy/idiotic to type right. Although I'll assume that you spelled correctly because you wanted non-internet crazy people to understand, the majority of people online in these kinds of FPSs are young, foolish teenagers that type "im too 1337 for u noob" and bash their keyboards in anger when they get headshot or shivved. Then again, reality isn't much fun to read. Maybe the future has it better.

The names were alright, but I couldn't help but think that the two main characters must be true nerds to get a screenname like "Shadow" or "Eternity" without the numbers, ie "Shadow123," since you'd have to be first to sign up for an FPS to get a good name. Do you play FPSs like Counterstrike or something else? The announcer sounds suspiciously like the announcer from Halo. On a side note, I've never heard anyone use the term "lurking" for what I know as spawn-camping. It's very frowned upon in most FPSs, and usually only newbies or jerks do that, so we must play different FPSs.

Overall, this fist chapter is interesting, but I'll have to get more time before I'll read further.

this is a realy good story sofar, i think it would make a very good manga

This is a wonderful story.
Thank you for writting it, And I hope my relationship with Becca (My best freind who has become my girl freind, even though neither of us can tell when over the years we became a couple) works out as well as gendo and kanako's
(P.S. I'm 17 and she is 18 and we became best freinds 5 years ago)

i like this chapter. i look forward to reading more of this and your other stories in the future, it's late now so i gotta crash Ja-ne =(^_^)=

i like this ic so much i'm readuing it again!

Oi... You guys should write manga. Sorry for taking so long to review. High school, in a word, sucks. But well done!

... That's becoming redundant. You guys write so well it's almost scary.

So cool! The characters are all so strong yet believabe. The plot is full of unexpected but elegant twists. You should make this a dating sim or something!

Opps ... forgot to review this chapter. ^^; Like I said in my previous post, great story. It has to be the best is far. It's a nice ending.

I love this fic! You're a great writer! ^_^ Antoinette always reminds me of that woman from Mahoromatic for some reason. What's her name.. the teacher lady. Anyways, keep up the good work!

Wah! I'm so sorry I didn't review this before. It's been forever since I've read this story. But anyway ... this story was really good and detailed. I even woke up each morning to read more. By far, this has been the best read on this site. Keep up the good work, and I think I'll have to check out your other stories!

This is one of the best stories I've ever read... it should be a manga or an anime.

~applauds~ Lovely,lovely. I love it when stories finally wrap up but yet am always sad when they end as well.

This stories relationships were brought out with a great complexity ,yet it all came together at the end. It is quite a feat to be able to do that!

for the poll
fav character: Kanako, loved her from the start.
fav couple" Gendo/Kanako, and maybe second most miyu/kurei?
fav chapter: Cherry Blossoms was a masterpiece in itself, but Waltz of the Final Nocturne and The Epilgoues come in as a tie with it, since they were such great endings.

I finally was able to do a signed review, i just got an account.^^ Gomen nasai though. I'm not really fond of shoujo ai or yuri, so i most likely won't read Yuki's Diary. Don't let that get you down though! I loved this story simply for just the that: the story. Shoujo ai or not. It's a wonderful story.

So, keep on writing! and thank you for letting me read such a great piece of work! ^_^

Still progressing, just stopping about halfway for a review of those ten chapters. Chapters 21 and 22 didn't hold my attention much, but around the time Kanko and Gendo take their trip to Germany, things got intersting again.
I must agree, the build up to chapter 30 made the last scene of the hanami all the more tragic and beautiful. I have a feeling much angst will be following with Gendo's selling himself to antoinette, but i shall read on!

p.s. You may want to go back and edit the grammer structure. I've noticed you often switch from present tense to past tense and back again at times, which is odd. Also, you seem to mix up 'she,he,him,her' etc. Often useing 'he' or 'him' when talking about a girl, and vice versa. It can get quite confusing.^^' Just thought i'd let you know this, perhaps for some final editing since the story is already finished.
