AHHHH MY HEART.
This whole chapter was just sooo wholesome it literally warmed my heart.

Okay. I really, really love this fic! Gosh! Ritsun and Akashi interaction, or should I say flirting was so cute! I had to physically hold myself from squealing in the middle of the night. Then, the part where Akashi turns out to be a budding romanticist? I can only say that because of the recent developments, Ritsun might not think so but she seems to be a little ignorant of their interaction so I hereby proclaim that it is null. Akashi reading shoujo mangas and having a like toward Mahou Shoujo is just SO- aGH. 'T. Cuteeeee!

I must say thorough all these arcs, my favorite and what I think is the best, Akashi's birthday! OH MY OH MY that one made my day! Or perhaps night? That arc where the realization comes, accidents happen, and the development truly develop!

I really like how this fic feels a lot like Shoujo Manga. Most of the happenings are things that usually happen in there and just made me want to sigh in bliss. BTW! I kinda want a field trip... As in the classes field trip... And! More Mahou Shoujo Ritsun! How could I not? That was so cute! And Akashi, Akashi's reaction was the best!

Okay, putting the romance part aside for... I kinda want more of Ritsun playing volley? Like more details on how she is in the volleyball club, not as in her interaction, but more about how she plays. I'm kinda curious what kind of a player she is? Like, she is a little indecisive, her self confidence is still in the work, and how she is a budding ace right? That one I already get. But more, of the action? Okay, this is a little messy, so to put it simple, I kinda read her match? Perhaps when she is in her second year, a tournament like that. Ah, but this is just what I want, so you don't need to really follow it through.

Just write it the way you want!

I really, reaaaaally hope that this fic has a sequel tho... Hopefully, you could work it out!

Okay! Wow. I think this is one of my longest reviews? Anyway! I'm looking forward for your next update! Good luck!

Awww I just love how straight-forward these two are, and how it doesn't seem like it until a 3rd party (Midorima) reacts to it. Asaka calling Akashi cute just about sent me squealing! Warm fuzzy vibes

and lol I could totally see Akashi assassin-style hunting after Kise. If there was an Assassination Classroom type AU (not necessarily cross-over) he totally would be hunting Kise down with a pair of scissors. Ooh that would be an idea.. maybe even with Asaka being the clss monitor/leader or teacher and Akashi reining in the monsters for her. Lol.

Anyway, I absolutely love the story and I cant wait for Kise to meet the gang and Asaka and Akashi to share the fluff!

I really enjoy your story. I used to play volleyball so I like the fact that Ritsu is a volleyball player. I don't know though what everyone is expecting from her as the ace. In my mind the ace is the person that you turn to in your most dire moments. When you are stuck you can depend on that person. I can't wait to see what you will do with it. I also love the chemistry between Asaka and Akashi they are so cute together. I am really worried for his split personality though. I wonder how everything will turn out. Also you have captured Murasakibara's personality impeccably. I am really impressed and I can't wait for the next chapter!

Are you going to write only until middle school? Or until the end of canon? Because if it's only until middle school, this story probably have no happu ending and I'm kind of scared of that... I'm also really curious how the relationship with Asaka and the other Akashi going to be. Will he be in love with Asaka too? Or will he hate her? Honestly I just hope there is a happy ending or else I will be so sad...

Thank you for the updates! This chapter is really good as always! I love the development you made for Asaka using Kise and I also think that you write Kise really well! I'm looking forward for more!

I was just randomly scrolling through the update section and saw this. I'm so happy there's an update 3

A little disappointing that there was no AkashixAsaka interaction, but the chapter content made up for it. I was so excited to see Asaka mature a bit and how Kise forced her to realise some parts of herself that Akashi has been hinting to throughout the story. If course I knew Kise wouldn't be joinig the club, but it still felt slightly disappointing when he didnt

The Teiko arc is my favourite too! The drama and angst is just...mwah! *chef's kiss*

Yep, in the end I think I prefer a simple story with one pairing and with the typical jealous momennts. (Even Akashi has to have some of those!) Adding an extra romance so late into the story will be a bit awkward.

I can't wait to see how the story changes when Bokushi emerges! Do you think Bokushi is the possessive type? Like ive seen so many fanfic where Bokushi is high-key a psychopath and demands things like a king "You will come with me to Rakuzan"/ "You will do this!" and everyone is just like "eep!" I eat this up sometimes, I admit but I don't think Bokushi is like that. Sure he's authoritative, hates disobedience and has a genuine scary side (like what he did with Haizaki), but demanding people how to live their life and using actual violence ? ...seems a bit non-canonical. Whay do you think? Or will that be a spoilery?

Will be going more into Akashi's home-life and go into the psychology of how exactly his personality split, or is that too much work? Like some fanfics just do the Bokushi flip, which is okay. I'm not complaining, just curious if you're going there.

By the way, i'm drooling for an Akashi POV...

You say you already know which high school she's going to...I'm curious now ...

Also do you have an update schedule or do you just update randomly? Asking because then I know when to tune in. Like I said, I was just looking through the updates and by luck saw this.

Finally an updated! At last Asaka met all of them. Asaka’s play using her left hand reminds me of Ushijima of Haikyuu :) I hope that Asaka’s encounter with Kise along with Akashi’s advice will somehow be an eye opener for her to become a more competitive player in the future. She should prove to them that she really deserves to be the Ace of Teiko Volleyball team. I also wish that there would be more scenes when all of GOM members and Asaka interact with one another just like in the Festival Arc.

Again, I’ll never get tired of re-reading your story. You’re a really good writer. l’m so excited for the next chapter more romance please? hihi Will Asakashi become a couple before Akashi-kun changes? Please let Asaka and Akashi have a happy ending even if its not in the Teiko Arc :D

I’ll be patiently waiting again for the next update.
Take Care and Keep Safe always!

So I've read and loved this story over the years. Happy to see a new installment

That being said... I feel like this comes with a impending doom. The forshadowing of them building something so great only to destroy it... makes me so depressed. I hope if it breaks that it can be fixed.

I really want Asaka and Akashi to live happily ever after.

Oooh Kise and Asaka are so cute together (friends-wise). Although I imagine there will be a time where Asaka or someone from the volleyball club will grab him by the scruff and drag him over to Akashi saying, "here, you're the monster king, you deal with him now." or something like that lol after Kise becomes too much for them to handle or if the boy gets bored. Unlikely but that would be funny, his whole meeting with Aomine could happen while he's trying to escape Akashi XD

Thanks for update and your reply to my comment! You're making a wonderful story and I can't wait to see it develop further!

The way they joke (coughflirtcough) with each other make me, the innocent reader, blush.

...the things you do for love. I would probably die of embarrassment acting like a magical girl in front of my crush and a stranger...tho if he's as cute as Akashi I might consider.

Thank you for the adorable story, this is definitely one of my favourite KnB OCs!

I need an update!

I've fallen in love with this story! 3 Everything about it! Your potrayal of the characters, the plot, the slow romance, and the OC. Omg, the OC! One of the best OCs I've come across. I've read so many Kuroko fanfics where I just couldn't get myself to like the OC. Asaka, however, she's perfect. And not in a Mary-Sue sort of way. Her relationship with Akashi is well written and natural. The scene where she kisses his forehead was the scene I've been waiting for! It was so romantic and not forced in any way. I can't wait for them to have a real kiss and maybe even some scenes that will require you to up the rating...please include some of those! Of course only once they've reached High school..speaking of High school, I can't wait to see how their relationship will change with the appearance of the Other Akashi and how he would treat her. I also want to see how the change of personalities of the GOM will affect their relationship with her as well. Especially Midorima and Murasakibara. Will there be any one who will have feelings for Asaka, by the way? I usually dislike when more than one GOM member likes the OC, but with Asaka it sort of seems natural if Murasakibara feels something for her. Or, Midorima even though he dislikes her :D that's the best part about the two of them though. I just really want to see a jealous Akashi! It's mostly been from Asaka's POV so we don't know exactly what Akashi thinks of her (though he obviously likes her) but I'm hoping you make a chapter of his POV and when exactly he starts liking her.
Also wondering if you will do their High School years and what school Asaka will attend. I hope she follows after Akashi and attends Rakuzan so we can get more moments of them. Please dont tell me you intend to end it with the Teiko Arc! It can't end there! High school, college, marriage, children!

I do hope you update this soon. Please please don't abandon it! It's such a good story!

this fic is truly wholesome! I really love Ritsu, and somehow you make it NOT awkward with the interactions and developments, it's like she fits in proerly and have her own life outside of the GoM(i have to remind myself a few times that this is an oc-insert)

Although I'm a bit curious of what actually that could make Ritsu breakthrough her potential. Cause she somehow feels like she's in a stalemate currently, even though there's lots of advices(eg from Akashi, her previous captain) she'd received. It feels like she keeps on dragging her feet. Is it that she have to have more practices by herself or smthg? I do hope that she realises whatever she needs in her second year though.

But all and all, this fic make me feel really.. and I really hope that the fic will continue. Stay safe during this season!

I hope you continue this eventually was actually one of the better fics out there for KnB. Also the way you’ve caught Akashi’s personality is pretty spot on.
