Hi! I made it! This was truly and enjoyable ride. I still feel what I feel about AU stories, but when there is some Sorato and Koushirou involved I can deal with it.
Of this chapter what I liked the most was Mimi using the verb "to play" with her friends, she's so cute and I think it's great that you took that decision. It's really easy to know which character you are reading about, just by the use of certain words or general ideas.
And I liked that you ended with Taichi. He's the leader, after all, even if this is an AU story.
Congrats on this amazing job!

Hi! OMG this chapter gave two things that I was missing: Koura and Taishiro friendships! I love tham and I think you gave them a very nice place here. Somehow I see that you kind of fulfilled everything that I needed in terms of friendships, I mean obviously this fic was already finished when I grabbed it but I still feel that you as a writer gave my pretty much everything that I need as a reader and that makes me happy :)
And you also gave me two things that I didn't know I needed: Jyou/Taichi friendship and Momoe as Taichi's girlfriend OMG I love her! Is she Miyako's sister? I don't care I love her the same omg

Hi! I haven't been leaving rws for a while sorry. But I'm almost there and still enjoying!
I never knew how much I needed Taichi's-Jyou friendship until that chapter where they spent some time together. It was so cute! And I'm also happy that Taichi and Yamato are starting to get along.
I realized in this chapter though that I'm missing some Koushirou - Sora friendship... I love their friendship.

OH MY GOD THERE WAS A KISS THIS IS AMAZING! I loved this chapter. Not only for sorato, also because of seeing everyone's good wishes for the year to come.
And did I mention that I love Yoshie? I think I didn't. She's always amazing and for me she really is a main character in this story.

My favorite part in this chapter was Mimi's, maybe because she spoke so much about Sora haha. She's in love with her too, and I'm here for it :)

Yeah they won! I'm so happy! This chapter was super exciting and I loved Taichi showing his leader capabilities/capacities. So cool!

I knew that Taichi was going to join! Hahaha so typical.
I loved Taichi in this chapter, how he's so focused and ready to CRUSH EVERYONE and win at everything. Loved it.

OMG Koushirou is starting to think about being social and Mimi is trying to meet him half-way I'm LIVING for this friendship. And Eimi likes cats! I approve.
I think Mimi and Jyou are extra cute in this fic. I like them.
Yamato getting jealous? Yes, I'm here for it. And I really want to see him invite her to go out even if Taichi is there.

You made us wait so long for Sora's perspective! Aggh, I loved it!
I'm realizing that even if I like all the directions in general that this story is taking, what I'm really looking forward to (besides Sorato!) is to Mimi and Koushirou becoming friends. I need their maze chapter! (obviously the factory wasn't it, haha).

Great chapter! OMG Yamato's part was the best and I loved that Sora made Eimi's yutaka. It's so funny to read her speaking about Koushirou... it's so obvious from the outside. I love them.

Sora's scene with her mother was so great! I love this duo, I love them, and I think this is kind of how it should have gone.

A full chapter focused on Koushirou! This was great, although scary. Not scary because of what happened but because of Eimi's reaction, poor girl.
Sora visited Yamato without him knowing and invited him to study and he will go, I'm dying here, I love this.
I think Mimi is being very unfair to Koushirou.

OMG Koushirou needs Eimi this is extra cute.
And Yamato and Sora are sitting together, am I dreaming? And Taichi is thinking about playing soccer with her? Yes, this is all I need for happiness.

I love how you write Sora and Jyou, and Koushirou makes me laugh because he's just so NOT into any of this nonsense haha, he's so cute. I still enjoy how each characters is introduced to each other, Mimi and Eimi's first connection was really nice.
I'm not a migrant but I work for migrants and I study migrations, and I kind of feel like Eimi is going through and usual cultural shock process (leaving the honeymoon now), and it's exciting to see how it'll keep moving forward.

Hi! I really like the first impression that each character has of the others, for example Taichi thinking that Sora is soft spoken (and that she wouldn't like Yamato hahaha), or in general Mimi and Sora's opinion of each other (although it confuses me a lot that Mimi refers to Sora as "Sora-chan", I understand that they are the same age here, but this small non-canon stuff always confuses me).
Koushirou breaks my heart, "I decided to stop complaining" OMG such a great kid.
