Looks like Seiji redeemed himself from his prior loss. He and Narine could have been good friends. I actually thought that maybe they would until that last part happened. I felt so bad for them.

So, Seiji is finally going to consider fighting women, or maybe fighting a woman who puts herself in a man's position. This fight is definitely good. I'm anxious to see Nerine's true form.

This was a nice little spar or build up fight between Nerine and Seiji. I like how you write your action scenes. They always get me involved and keep me intetested. Nerine had interesting thought patterns and I like her development of feelings on the events of her past.

Nerine and Seiji had a nice action scene and even if Seiji is claimed to be generic, his words stand out. It's nice to see Yuki again, even if it was briefly. XD

So the plot thickens. It makes me wonder just who exactly Yuki is then. Did the king have a secret lover or something? Now I'm curious.

's attacks were amazing, things don't look good for her. I loved the flame pillar and her fire arm as well. She has some pretty interesting attacks.

I really like the powerful fight and depth of Stamatia's chatacter and how the King effected her life. Her tragic loss and why she fought. This is truly a battle of heart and soul for both women.

What a powerful fight. For a moment, it seemed as if Fumiko was a gonner but she managed to find a way to gather her powers and it appeared to be working. I like the explosive fire vs. fire theme as well. .

It looks like Fumiko is growing as well, and facing her past and feelings. I hope she'll be able to keep a grip on her powers despite the screaming.

I love the intensity of emotions and action here. It also adds a sense of madness to this chapter as well.

Fumiko and Seiji's interactions are funny here. I was cracking a laugh at thier antics. At times, I just think Fumiko thinks Seiji is stupid in general. On the flip side, it's nice to see Seiji fighting and showing a sense of morale towards women...even if it is in a goofy way. XD

Starting off my morning doing a little reading. What better way to do it than reading Shift? XD I like this chapter and tje little scenes of action as Yumi and co. try to infiltrate the camp.

There was quite a bit of insight on Fumiko's growth here as well. I think her transformation is more of an adapt and survive one whereas Yumi's is more about personal growth. Now that they are moving in, I wonder what will ne in store for them and for Yori, Athene and Chiharu.

I really like Vangelis. He sort of reminds me of my character Udo from Into the Void. I look forward to seeing more of him in future chapters.

It seems Chiharu found Yori, but got caught up in his powers possibly. I wonder what will happen after Yori's mind showdown with Athene is over.

Nice, powerful chapter. I like Yumi's cathrisis, or struggle with it, and Chiharu just keeps pushing her. In a way, she acts as a motivator to kick her in the ass when she needs it.

Yumi continues to grow and proves herself inspiring for wanting to achieve a change deemed impossible. I found myself relating to her on many levels ,having changed myself in order to help my anxiety issues.

She and Chiharu have a nice clash of opinions. Chiharu is definiyely stuck in her ways though.
