i like the way the characters' names reflect their role in the story... but i reckon, it would be alot easier to come up with names this way too. ^^
*temptedly picks up pencil and sketchbook* i'm deprived... i haven't drawn for... a week. but i have to go on restraining myself... exams next week. >< i guess i'll stop reading here too, and perhaps draw some fanart for FP when i have more time. ^^ meanwhile, keep up the good job!
*adds to fav author* ^-^

i don't know, i just felt kinda sad when they started sealing up the wall... horrified, in fact.
don't worry so much about long chapters. ^^ personally i don't mind, because at least you cut the chapters off at the right places.

the idea behind this story is just great... really. i liked the way you expressed about how death has become just a statistic... it's so true. we don't know the seriousness of it till it really hits us straight in the face.
and the give and take reasoning in this story... somehow, it all just makes sense. you've explained it (or inu-wan...?) in such a way that it seems logical, possible even. and to think that the wall was actually once people... *shudders* you've done it really well.
and that person sandwiched between the walls... fukumen.
the whole story just flows so naturally... proves that you're a good writer. ;) keep it up, yeah?

*snort* gosh, neko-keigo sure drinks some sorta interesting coffee.
the description was just beautiful, and i know i'll never be able to get to that standard. i put in too much dialogue. ah.
the more i read this story, the more... drawn to it i get. the plot's great, and the characters are well-developed. i can almost feel like i'm there watching everything happen.
ah... so neko-keigo is brought in deeper into all this. well done, once more.

o.O this chapter's kinda scary... and the story's developing well. nice job!

it's nice to see that you do research on japan to write your story. ^^ again, another great chapter.

captivating! now i'm addicted to your story... *sweatdrops* ah well. the character development was great, and the descriptions bring out the flavour of the story... wait, that sounded weird. ah, before i forget... nice to meet another CLAMP fan.

ah. i love your descriptions! ^^ i'm definitely adding this story to my favourites. *goes on to read more*

Yo!
Only qualm is WHY DOES THIS GREAT STORY HAS SO LITTLE REVIEWS WHILE CRAPPIER ONES HAS LIKE SO MANY!
Review from chapter 5-6-7.
Inu growling sardonically?
It will be better off without the adverb, cause dogs cant convey feelings with a mere growl...there are diferent type of noise they make though. Yelping,barking,growling,howling.
He can talk too! Thanks to her owner!
your story is A bit confusing at times, but is nothing really...Grasp on philosophy is like Woah...marverlous. Maybe you can tell me what books you read.
Writing style is very smooth...lucid...I gonna add you to my profile of writers that earned my respect. Only 4 made it to the lsit..ya know?
Hehe...see ya,
CLement

hey!
How ya find my story? i thought they got buried under loads of fanfiction.
You write beautifully. However, it kinda reminds me of a script form.
A little more to the dialogues which shows more character than most stories.
This review is up to chapter 5. I promise to give you another one when i finish another batch.
I love the storyline. About we humans using only 10 percent...
PS: I dont write often...so u can be waiting for my holidays if anyone else ever read my stories...
hehe...See ya,
Clement

I haven't read a story this enigmatic in awhile. It certainly has a great plot and characters, though Shiraho feels rediculously weak at times.
I also like the twists you throw in, and though one was rather dragged out (like what was happening to the dissapearing people) the one with Fukumen really shocked me. Excellent work with grammar as well, though the constant repeating throws me off. Looking forward to the next chapters!

*points to self* Me? I swear, my thoughts were perfectly innocent. 9.9v
*cough* I know well enough to keep an open mind, because with this story nothing is ever as it seems, is it? *tohoho*
I'll be serious, for once. You say your anthology doesn't have a theme...but I see one. There is always a sense of perserverance through tragedy--a silver lining to every cloud, if you will. And I think the only way for you to lose that is to end this with a world in ruin. (Which, actually, isn't completely out of reach.)
My apologies--I can't think of any criticism for you...
...though I »do« sincerely hope that a ragged band of children is behind this latest arc. It would parallel well with certain Japanese cult films involving gruesome acts committed by a desperate youth.

I cheered when I read this chapter...but then again, you already know I'm a bit of a Tetsujin fangirl. ^_^v The scene with the introductions was just hilarious, from Tsukene-san's overreaction, to Inu-wan's exasperation (He especially made me crack up)
I have a certain suspicion about those two (Tsukene and Tetsujin) in particular...but I'll let it rest.

Interesting. I definitly have to read more. The talking-dog plot device has been used and abused, but in this case, Inu seems more like a real person, instead of a dog, which is a good thing. Then the bit about superpowers came along, and I was worried this would collapse into something silly, but it still remained serious and enjoyable. The only part that really jutted out was the heat-vision, which feels really out of place. Speed, strength, flight, radiating light, those are noble-sounding powers. Whereas heat vision feels silly and comic-book-esqe.
The asteriks feel somewhat intrusive. I can figure out that sashimi is some kind of food based on the context. Try to eliminate asterisks with context, or use English equivilents (Though it sounds like "Americanizing," it makes things flow easier.) The honorifics you can probably leave alone.
Other than that, very good work. The amount of detail is just right and the writing style feels original. Keep it up!

Whoah...perhaps I should break my tradition of not leaving a review every chapter. Too much happens each chapter for me not to. *grin* Hm, we'll focus on this one, perhaps.
Tetsujin is quickly becoming my favorite secondary character. (I have a sneaking suspicion about him, though. A sage in any day and age tends to know more about current events than he lets on.)
Your description of Tsukene's beach house brought back some very welcome nostalgia about a certain beach house my family used to have in Nags Head...kudos. ^_^b And the unsettling touch of a corpse on the roof was darkly amusing.
Perhaps I have rambled enough? ^_^ You know the usual; great work, keep it up, yada yada.
