yay! I feel smarter! Awesome chunk of explaining through the council thingy. I really liked how massive the story suddenly became. It was nice getting little dialogues from the Sweepers too while the guardians did more listening and sort of took a backseat. I like side characters lol. Anyway, the explanation of Dimitre, Tanaka, and Alix was great; now I feel like I understand most of their relational positions, oh and Natalya too. The Sword Reaper was a nice personality too. He really reminded me of One-eyed Mooney from Harry Potter. I mean, he had the whole eccentric, almost crazy, but really power thing going on. And the way he moved was pretty frightening. I'm glad no one lost a limb. With additional explanation of golems I think I've gotten down most of what's going on in this story. Of course, with the further revelations of the sorcers/esses I think I'll be read to tackle anything that's subsequent without much confusion. This story is really turning into one of my favorites. I didn't see anything notworthy of complaining about and I rather enjoyed the uber language bubble gum. That was funny.

Hah, I remember back when I first encountered this like two months ago, by accident, I was hesitant to keep up on it. But now its so much fun to read! Looking forward to next chap.

Update!

Just when I finish telling you off for the cliffy last chapter, there's another on T_T You enjoy torturing me, don't you? Although, I'm almost positive I know what it's about... But yeah. And I will just have to "aw" at the Koji-Tanaka interaction there. It's so cute and funny and fluffy and yay. Yeah, that's right, yay is an adjective.

Anyway. Love the name Natalya. Is prettyful :3 And... and, uh. This chapter reminded me that I have two orals to write (Spanish and French) by Monday. Lovely. Because you mentioned tango, and that's what my orals are on. So it reminded me (however vaguely) of my orals XD I know. I'm a freak.

Right, well, I think that's it! No mistakes that I either noticed or remember... so yay! Hah. Well, I guess I'll be going now! See ya, and update whenever you get the chance to! (No point in rushing, after all XD)

Well, that was a pretty intense ending! Evil cliffy, too. But luckily, you posted TWO chapters! I might have had to kill you if you'd left me hanging with just this chapter. Pure evil place to end it, you know!

Hah. I love the way Tanaka is all confused at the beginning of the chapter about what couples do. It amused me to no end XD

Hum. I only found one mistake this time, that I can remember. It's when Rini and her gang are leaving Koji and Tanaka alone on the bleacers. It says that "Yumi and Etsu just left, but Yumi smiled at Koji before leaving" or something to that effect. I'm sure you mant Rini turned, but... ah, well, you know that I'm that little freak person who needs everything spelled properly XD (Even if I'm sure there are mistakes all over this review ;)

Oh, I kinda remember that lol. Though, I don't think I came up with a description for a char, or did I? I suppose it's not important. But anyway, I think I've read enough to see a definite split in your abilities. This'll be my first real critique (if I'm a little harsh just let me know in the future). Ok, so first you're style, I guess it's more I'm confused then anything else. You use bold and italics for different situations and spots, but I don't think they're needed. They distract a lot because they draw alot of attention. The "Flashback" thing made me laugh, and not in a good way, but I think because of the way you have the scene set up you can't do much else. Which isn't a bad thing lol. Also parenthesis are kind of a bad thing to use cause it kind of reminds me of a post it note in the middle of a scene. I remember you telling me more about the powers, but it seems like there are tons of powers that are all unique. You should use more of them more often instead of brand new ones.

Onto the good stuff: I love the drama of the characters. Unlike most stories, you've really kept the tension ongoing without losing any interest or making anything exagerated. You've got such simple situations but everything that comes of its keeps the tension between all characters relatively balanced. In fact, you don't really lose tension but just keep building it. There are such easy scenes to recall (first time Tanaka met Hana, the first time Dimitre was introduced, Tanaka at the soccer game, Rini and her friends ganging up on Tanaka). You have such an amazing ability to do so much with so little, drawing it out while staying well below the boredom threshold. I also like the golems and how strangely intoxicating they are to the plot, the three of them try their best to balance their life and their work, but I can't help but wonder when the real story will start to appear. I mean, we still know very little about the golems, how the appear, and also, if memory serves correct, weird sorcerer/es they have yet to find. Man it's been so long since I've read this, I hope I can still remember it all lol.

Looking forward to the next set of chaps whenever you get around to releasing them. And this is still one of my favorite stories.

There was a bit of repitition at the end that could be solved by changing some words or leaving others out.

lol, Koji is still the typical playboy type, but at least know he doesn't feel like an ass. And poor Tanaka, high school can be so unfair. If it doesn't get to her, then I can live with it too. I really like the school life, the drama is deserving of praise since people are pictured pretty easily. And girls are just cruel. I wonder if it takes a female to be ablve to really show that kind of picture. I can really see those kinds of things happening, but I couldn't even begin to imitate those kinds of twisted personalities. Ooh, it makes me shiver.

Nice work, much better than your other chapters. You did really well with grounding and transitions. What do I mean? When you started off the scene, you described the area where the characters, pretty well might I add. And then when the scene switched to another, the transition was also pretty fluid and well done. I didn't get lost or confused anywhere. And your first shot at horror wasn't so bad. I wasn't scared or anything but it was still well described. Keep it up!

cool story

Good chap. The way the characters interact with each other is very realistic. If this wasn't a fantasy setting, I would swear that this was one of those high school drama shows. But aside from that, I liked the little dialogues of Usagi and Hana. They were pretty minor characters at first, but with a few lines they're personalities became pretty built. And the end was cryptic; it was cool to see why Ryuji did what he did. I can't wait to find out more about Dimitri. Looking forward to the next chapter.

if i give u a tanaka/koji plushie will give my another update?

i wanna be a character 3

Er... no offense meant, of course, but I think that some of these things seem a little bit rushed. I mean, it's not like a new teacher would just enter the class and say, "All right, your teacher's been sacked, but I have no idea why. Let's get working!" It just seems a little... unatural to me.

But I'm really not one to talk, so you can just ignore all that hypocrite-ness (because that's an actual word now, of course), and read the rest of this review:

ZOMG YAY! UPDATE! WOOT! Hah. You already know all the characters that I love. Cos they're all so cool XD Koji seems to be the most real to me, though, mostly because... well, Tanaka IS changing, and that's normal, but that's happening too fast for my liking. And Dimitre is just so... so UBERLY COOL that it's not normal. So Moody Koji over there wins for the Most Realistic Character. And yeah ; I think I'll go now...

YES! I'M BACK! Tell me, do I annoy you? I tend to annoy people with my over-excited and strange nature, since they're strangers and don't know how I am. Just curious, no need to answer. This probably makes me look even stranger.

Anyway! Nice chapter! Action, and Koji is cool. I heart him. And Dimitre. And Ryuji. Heck, let's even throw Tanaka into the mix, and we have (just about) every character you've introduced! Truth is, I like them all. They're real, they're irritating, and they're lovable. But I love Ryuji's first attacking Dimitre, then asking if he needs to be healed. So cool :3 Is he a good guy, or a bad guy? Because I'm really confused. (Isn't my vocabulary just wonderful? Good guy and bad guy. I amaze myself sometimes.) Even if he is a bad guy, he's so cool that it won't matter. Besides, I tend to like the fictional psychos a lot. And now I'm rambling. Help me.

Right. So, cool chapter. I think I'm gonna reccommend this story to my friend. She's also into this anime/manga stuff, so she'll definitely give this a look. It kind of reminds me of Bleach (have you ever seen that anime? SO COOL!). I mean Ichigo (main character) is sort of in the same situation as Koji, where he's just learning about everything he has to do against these monsters as he goes along. He's strong and he learns fast. So... yeah. That just kind of made me think of Bleach.

I'll shut up now.

took u long enough

luv it! I wanna be a character 3

Update! u hav five seconds XD
