almost 8000 words, this is incredible i loved this story so much ?!

This so good! It makes me want to reread the chapter where Natori finds out about the book. Welp, gotta go xD

Definitely worth the read! I may repeat myself from my previous review of 'Sight', but I really like how you explore traits of the characters that are only hinted at in the original and give them more depth! This really does feel like Natori from the series (yes, sorry, still haven't read the manga). Anyway, no detail in your story feels out of place!

Gah, Natori soundded so almost goodheartedly evil in this i would have cracked if those around me werent sleeping. But i know how you feel, there is truly never enough Natsume to go around. Iwant the new chapters sooooo bad. And i know you didnt write this for me particularly, but thanks anyways! Natori is always one cool cat.

Wow, you're really up-to-date with some of these spoilers considering this was written in January (no worries, I knew about them.) Like everyone else said, it is astoundingly in-character. I would absolutely read an entire multi-chapter fic about Natori in high school or college, and his early exorcist-actor career.

Worrying about ages 6 and 7 merging together though? Having decided his career by that age? I honestly remember practically nothing from that early in life, I don't even think I was forming coherent thoughts at that point. The manga is a lot better, with him not having attended exorcist meetings until age 17, maybe experimenting with techniques a little earlier. Anyway...fulfilling childhood ambitions and vivid childhood memories are a common thing in media, I don't know why I get peeved when this happens.

I really like the way you managed to get into Natori's head considering that I find him the most difficult character to categorized considering that Natsume Yuujinchou is full of 'em- unique characters.

You even depicted quite well his dilemma with Natsume and his relationships with his Shiki.

It's a very interesting read.

Nice!

This is an absolutely great piece. I think you nailed Natori's voice! Also, I follow the translation, and nothing seemed out of place, for what it's worth. Thanks for the lovely work!

Oh man, excellent, excellent look into Natori's mind. I also love the history you've painted for him. You have an interesting take on Natori's personality (entirely IC, mind) that I would like to see more of. And his internal conflicts are so painfully clear my heart aches in sympathy. I hope to see more of these kinds of things.

I quite enjoyed this story! I'm not super sure what was a spoiler haha, because I've only read as far as the scanlations, chapter 58, or creative license. You do a great job peering into the depths of Natori.

Great fic! I love the way you managed to build great depth into the characters through dwelling on Natori's past .Also loved the interaction between Natori and Hiirigi. I really want to know what will happen when (and if) Natori finds out too! Hurry up, Vol 16!
Thank you for your time and talent.
Cheers.

Normally, I find stories that restate the canon rather unoriginal. Of course, it may be unfair of me to call this a mere 'restatement of the canon', because it's so much better and more than that :P

I absolutely love how you've done Natori; he seems so IC, it's almost scary XD

I can see the thought that's been put into this; you have so many details that I really hadn't thought of before, and I really like the way you colored in Natori's past.

Particularly love the last bit! You should write for for the Yuujincho fandom XP

no natori! youre wworrying me.

Loved it, Adore it! and if this have a second chapter I'm eager to see what you'd come up with _ and don't worry about the writing, your fit your story and isn't all that foreign to the 'Natsume' Feeling/atmosphere ;)

Looking forward to see more from you, and i loved Natori's thought esp about Hiiragi's "Mother Hen" huh? quite it! x)
