This is a great story with by far still my most favorite pairing for Ranma1/2. Thanks you for sharing and completing this.

Excellent fic with a somewhat messed up ending. Ranma gets a really bad concussion because a pirate his him in the head, yet Akane's mallet strikes knock him flying with no great injury? Wtf?

Anyway, strange distraction at the end but excellent nonetheless.

You know, it was pretty obvious that Ranma and Nabiki would end up together, but for the last few chapters I actually expected it to end with a Ranma/Nabiki/Kasumi solution, there's been several hints in that direction, they never seemed to begrudge each others' obvious feelings.
I can at least picture that's how an epilogue would turn out somehow. :-)

That was actually a nice, slow going romance that developed all three sisters; Nabiki's tenderness, Kasumi's strength, and Akane's maturity. I'm actually happy that you wrote them all marvelously reasonably, with Akane not being portrayed as a crazy bitch.

Anyhoo, this was refreshing; nothing like slow but true romance to drive away sex-obsessive plots. Not that I'm complaining of the latter, but they're too many nowadays.

Thanks for writing!

This was a surprising find for me... every so often I go on a quest to look for Ranma 1/2 fanfiction in hopes of coming up with an enjoyable read. Ranma is what got me into fics in the first place after all.

This wasn't perfect but it was probably one of the few romance stories that had a nice subtle build to a decent conclusion. There sa few hiccups and odd moments spread about but the ranma/nabiki romance came across as a natural growth of the story, one that early on could have gone kasumi or akane's way without coming off forced. Good job on the good read :)

One of my favorite Nabiki/Ranma fics. Akane never really works with him. Kasumi can teach and guide him and learn to be adventurous. Nabiki though is just enough of a trouble maker to keep his life as interesting as he needs it.

I liked this because Akane just knew that Ranma clicked better with either of her sisters and the entire that they both had feelings for him didn't really hurt her that badly. I think Akane could easily get into protecting Nabiki as she knows just how trouble some being in his life can be.

This ended on a very good note. I would have loved to see a bit more of these two together and making a go at their business and such.

Beautiful story great job!

this was a very entertaining story ne

loved it

Knowing that you originally meant this to be a Ranma/Akane fic explains a lot. The gradual shift in relationship focus ended up working really well though.

I have to say, sometimes while I was reading I would get tripped up by the writing style. It sometimes felt like too much telling and not enough showing. But the more I thought about it, the more it worked. You were clear and articulate in your descriptions of what people were feeling and thinking, and the less deft moments (oh, "A Deft Touch" is another great Ranma/Nabiki fic btw, I absolutely recommend it) didn't take too much away from the story.

Anyway, thanks for writing. I really enjoyed this fic, and it's going in my favorites - a rare ocurrence.

Damn! this was one of the best Ranma/Nabiki stories I've read! While it was a mistake some of the best stories come from mistakes. good work dude.

This was a very fun story. I enjoyed it a great deal and thought the characters were true to form and that they naturally moved in to the relationship you had set up. Very well done.

Amazing fic, probably the best Ranma-Nabiki match up yet.

This was good writing. That's a precious thing, especially when the characters come across as real.

I'm off to look at what else you've done.

Hey great story, loved the Nabiki, Ranma and Kasumi interactions and the way you built the ending was good and I like where you cut things off though the lead up to it could have been a bit better. the whole pirate thing was kind or random and seems like an easy way for you to end the story. still a great story though and hope to see some more great writing from you in the future

The Bonbori is also called the Chui, you can find it easily on wikipedia.. btw this story is pretty good and I'll probably finish reading it today as it has me hooked. thank you for sharing this with us.
