This story is awesome! It's so good; I really like how you portrayed Soujiro's personality. I can imagine him being like that. Also, I really love Misao's reaction to his hand touching hers. It's so cute! I love it a lot and am glad you wrote this. Thank you!

I'm enjoying the subtle SouMi in here, but the other plots and setting changes distract me a bit. It's a little disorienting, but otherwise, I'm enjoying where this is taking the story. It's been a long time since you've updated, so I'm not sure if this story will be continued. However, I'm glad I found it. :)

I love this hope you update this one of these wait to see what happens next.

Brilliant! The imagery and description were exquisite! Congratulations on a job well done!

o! im excited, here at chptr 7!

wonderful... pleze update!

I wuz wunderin' if u were catholic... i feel bad for that poor bald guy... why do they want soujiro? i don't really get it (probably becaus i have a 5 foot thick skull) anyway, great chapter- i like that soujiro is finally finding peace- ! :)

wow- the list wuz a good way to show how misao's becoming not-so-obsessed w/ aoshi... great chapter- i luv the threat- i hate aoshi- how can he not luv misao? I mean, i don't luv her, but he puts her thru so much pain... ah, well... great ficcie, great chappie... i'm gonna read more now... this wuz (did i spell that right?) :D

Well, well well, love is blossoming! I could tell that soujiro would come, but you did it well enough that it wasn't really corny... good job! luv the ficcie-wiccie. I hope misao will get over aoshi (but he is a hottie, so who knows...) this is fabulatasticallygrespecial!

I'm very impressed you took it upon yourself to create an epic journey for Soujiro. XD That boy deserves his redemption, and what better way for redemption than to set out to save a doomed Christian man?

I enjoyed myself the past ten chapters. Your side characters are very well loved, I appreciate your taking the time to flesh them out (though I have to say I love the way you stupefied the Handsomest Men of Kyoto, and the way you made Mister Oily Boss of Doom sound like an old war general had me giggling even more).

And FINALLY! A HUG! Honestly, why do these hero types part with their maidens after just a hug? Have you noticed the connection? Shame on Soujiro.

This review is getting long. Er.. I wanted to point out that Shiro is the tall guy while Kuro is the shorter, bulkier guy. That's about the only consistent misconception I noticed.

I really look forward to reading more. :D

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AOSHI CAN'T MAKE IT! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

truly funny hahahahahaha. the keywork there really was 'trying' LMFAO!

I love the story! my only critique is all the ocs. There are so many i have a very hard time keeping track. but i'm sure they are all there for a purpose so no more complaining! I like how you made misao. she's in character, and you didn't make her overly ditzy. keep up the good work!

I like it! I'm not usually one for SouMiso but I think it was your characterizations that pulled me in, as well as you writing style. It's smooth. :3

Please continue asap

"couldnt have gone far" is an understatement. haha.

you're story is proving to be really interesting so far...i do like it a lot! i'm hoping for an update soon! )

and i hope sou can save the poor man before its too late.../

i'll be waiting for the next chapter!
