*Clap clap clap clap clap* That was really interesting Nao-chan! Although I favor shoujo and romantic comedies, I'm a sucker for stories about the shinsengumi, chosuu, and historic Japan in general.

That was a really well written story, I'm very impressed. (True, it doesn't take much to impress me... But...)

I haven't been able to catch up on my favorite authors in a while, so it was nice to read this.

Whew... captivating suspense this story holds... wow wow!!

Oh, the decription is so beautiful. The whole thing is written really well. Nice work!

This is a great poem! Although it doesn't delve into many techniques, it remains an addictive read. I couldn't stop to look away at anything until I got to the end! Its interesting and has a foreboding aura around it, which suits the content well. Awesome job! ^^

Very, very good. I honestly loved it to death. Great imagery, and the perfect amount of mystery. *glances down at spazzy reviewer* Wow...erm...don't listen to her. Keep to this style of writing. It's really beautiful and realistic. I love how it has a story revolving around it, but you don't have to explain every wretched detail. ^_^ Oh and thanks for the review, greatly appreciated.
