HOLY SHITES.
I've left too many chapters uncommented yet again >_____________<
Okay, so quick catch up. I don't think I can afford to dish out another few hours like I did last time with the comment

@Beecubed: Wow that was... AMAZING. Have I mentioned yet how much I love you? If I haven't, well here it is: I LOVE YOU
Your comments/critiques/analysis helps soooo much~~ and I TOTALLY appreciate everything you write. I read every word and laughed at some, nodded at some thinking, "AHH~ Sou ka!"
Point is, thank you for the awesomely long comment 

You deserved it!

My attention, that is xDDDD .... but! Did I really critique? Analyse?

....

I got the impression while I wrote the comment up, I was more or less in the middle of a fangirly rampage... hmmmm. Well, I'll try to keep that toned down this time around

Ahhhhh. I can't help but fangirl over good stuff, and you definitely deliver the goods

Just happy to know you appreciated my effort. Thanks for telling me.

And as for the genre of the next fic, I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. i might just mesh something up together but I hope nobody will be too mad if i just make the poll as a survey rather than the thing that actually makes decisions... i mean, i wanna test my skills too 
That's a really good idea. Use it as just a survey - you don't have to bend over to every one of our demands, ya know. Also, choose yourself who you want to star as the main couples. I have a feeling I'd be happier if you chose than if the readers did
Chapter 37AHHHHH. Pivotal chapter. I think more than anything, Jun Jun is the pivotal character.

She's seriously like THE SAVIOUR of this fic

I have no fear any more, or any doubt or uncertainty... as long as Jun's around, I think it's say to safe things will never be bad for too long.

“Konbanwa, Reina-senpai!” three girls said in unison with bright smiles. “Can we come—”
Before the visitors could even finish their sentence, the ex-yankii slammed the door and shuffled back to the sofa.

I think I really have come to expect such yankii reactions from Reina. Her minions - or should I say,
admirers, are so cute always trying to see (and bother xD) her one way or another.

I could easily picture this, and really did LOL.

“I knew you guys were going to find a way in anyway so why bother locking you out?” the kitten grumbled. “So the least I could do was take my frustration out on the door.”
Smart!Reina
The JunLinKa combination is so adorable to read, every single time! I really love the dialogue/voices you give them..

I think these girls must be the most loveable yankii delinquents EVER.
Ahhhhh. Jun Jun knows Reina too well >___________<
She just knows EXACTLY what to say - it's a little unnerving. Rather than continuing being delinquent, maybe she should study to become a social worker of some kind, lols... Jun Jun is way too socially
good to be a delinquent, I'm sorry.
“They’re just childhood friends!” Reina suddenly yelled, glaring at the panda next to her.
..........
“… Good, then we can both move on like that.”
Reina in denial.

It's so obvious she's steaming jealous on the inside >____> she can tell herself anything she wants to believe otherwise. But I was sure Jun was going to step in and make short work of getting her to realise she's being an idiot.
........
“Does it really matter if someone is a boy or a girl?” the panda yelled. “Does it really matter which uniform this person wears? She loves you more than anyone else! All those other guys you went out with in the past doesn’t even compare to the person you threw out two weeks ago, and you know it.”
And Jun does. And Jun rocks.
“Tell me, would you still have kept Eri close to you like you did if you knew she wasn’t a boy?”
That's true. Reina would've most likely made a mad run for it - she had kept thinking - cute pretty boy. Cute pretty boy. BOY. Cute pretty
girl wouldn't have done anything for Reina. I think the turtle made a wise move to maintain Reina's interest by playing along as a boy. It could've ended disastrously - with Reina feeling so hurt and betrayed that she cannot look at Eri again; with her being narrow-minded about it all. But it could also end with Reina feeling so hurt but realising that she's fallen for Eri hard and is willing to look at their love from a different pov.
And if Eri had told Reina herself that she was a girl? I don't know what would've happened. Probably the same as what's happening now, I'm thinking.
*Bee slips on thinking face* “Eri knew you were close-minded,” the panda said quietly, “and you know you are too. But she still loved you, Reina. And I’m willing to bet she still does.”
Jun understands Eri better than even Reina does.
In this fic, I would like to deem Jun Jun
GOD.
“All you have to do is answer just one question,” Junjun replied, smiling warmly. “What do you want the most right now?”
Very good question.
Stop thinking. Start feeling.
“Aitai…” Reina whispered, her eyes widening, “I want… to see… Eri… I have to see… Eri…”
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!

The kitten comes to her senses. Of course, now must come a running scene. xDDD
Junjun smirked as she walked over to the kitchen. “Looks like we got the place to ourselves tonight,” she said, “because I don’t think Reina is coming back any time soon.”
JUN! YOU THE HERO!
Chapter 38Okay, this chapter had my heart racing a bit. Everybody loves a bit of confrontation like this, ESPECIALLY if you know there's such a high possibility of the two leads making up (and a hot one at that

). I love these kind of chapters.

I especially loved how you made Reina bark away at Eri, angry and resentful, but then showed all her conflicting thoughts through the italics there. It was a great contrast, and I'm sure it made all of us feel a hell of a lot more

“… But… more than hating you… I hate that I still love you…”

So okay, who saw that coming? *raises hand* But didn't make it ANY LESS AWESOME! These kind of confessions are just really effective. 'Coz... they're more dynamic than just...
"Kyaaaa, I love you let's get married?"*Bee is smitten*“But you know,” the kitten said, sniffling and trying to calm herself down, “I’ve done so many bad things in the past, that maybe this is my punishment. Maybe I’m fated to love you and hate it forever. But… I can’t help but think that being with you is a blessing, not a punishment. In which case, I don’t deserve you.”
“Then think of it as a punishment,” Eri said quickly, leaning forward a little. “Think of it as the harshest punishment in the world and stay with me…”
OKAY OKAY OKAY!!!!
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

My favourite TanaKame dialogue/interaction/moment so far? This was win.

“… I changed my mind,” Reina said quietly. “Let’s not talk. In fact, don’t say anything at all.”

I'm all for no talking.

As they pressed their lips together again, the two lovers made secret vows within their hearts.
I’ll never let you go, ever again. We’ll stay together… no matter what.
Beautiful ending few lines to this chapter!

ONE COUPLE DOWN, TWO TO GO!
Chapter 39

THIS WAS SUCH AN AWESOME CHAPTER.
I guess because so far, Chigatte mo Iin da yo! has kinda been lacking that lustful spark that Kokoro no Uta had... but this chapter was infinitely amusing and

to read. Wow, I loved it!

The beginning made me laugh

“Now if you all did your homework last night and read the correct chapter, you would know that— Kamei-san, this is your second strike of the semester— the Tokugawa shogunate was overthrown in 1868.”
Takahashi sensei is awesome and Kamei pupil is awesome - I could really imagine the way Ai sounded when she said that - like a breeze. Lol.

Message passing between GakiKame is always such entertainment to read... I hope we have more of these scenes? They're hilarious!

And then how Gaki-san's messages prompt Eri's thoughts...

those flashback scenes are such teases! So cute, so sexy... so human? I'm not sure if that's the right word, but the part when Reina decides to have a look at Eri's body like that... I.. I, well. Yeah.

So instead of going further, they had decided to just sleep together in the same bed. Although Eri continuously said she was perfectly fine with this restriction, Reina had felt guilty that she couldn’t give herself completely yet.
Awwwwww. Sweet turtle

I don't think I've ever read this kind of TanaKame, with Eri being the one to do the waiting. xD Nice turn around.

“I know you, Eri,” Reina said, rolling her eyes. “You’re the type who keeps running forward, even though there’s a brick wall."
Oh Reina.

I think that's Reina's nice way of saying: Eri, you're dumb.

“Good, I’m glad you don’t,” Reina grinned. “I don’t want anybody else but me to think you’re cute. Don’t go around making people fall for you.”
“As if!” Eri laughed. Reina also giggled along before sighing.
“It’s so strange,” she whispered. “I’ve never thought before about falling in love with another girl… and it wasn’t something I considered possible either. But now, being with you like this… staring at a girl’s bare body, just like my own… it almost feels right. But I still can’t imagine myself being with another girl so… maybe it’s just you, Eri.”

I did my fair share of internal squealing here. This is SO SWEEEEEET OMFHFJHG!!!!!

“KAMEHA, I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE!” a loud voice boomed from behind the door.
SO funny, watching Eri debating whether to open the door for Gaki-san or not... who cares about hw when you have a kitten that hot in your lap. Forceful!Reina is love, ne?

Another piece of paper hit the turtle square on the head before it dropped on the desk. Eri blinked a couple times and looked at Risa, who was narrowing her eyes. The turtle tuned her attention to the scrunched up paper and read the note written inside.
Oh, you are so having perverted thoughts right now.
*Bee laughs and laughs and laughs*The comic timing of this was brilliant.

I love me some perverted turtle...

“ ‘Well, you get the general gist of what happened’,” Takahashi sensei read out loud. “ ‘Why don’t you tell me your side of the story, Risa-chan? Anything new going on…’” Her voice traveled off at the unfinished sentence.
WHY DIDN'T SHE FINISH THE SENTENCE!!!!???
Okay this was one awesome chapter - the way you structured it was really effective. I loved it.
Chapter40YAY for some ShigeJun (or was it JunShige again? xD) and TAKAGAKI this chapter! I’m all for you splitting up chapters like this so we can have a little bit of everybody at any time. ^___^
And why was Sayumi even wondering about such things? Shouldn’t she be happy that she was finally free of the panda’s grasp? It’s such simple logic; she had won the challenge, therefore earning her liberty. That was a good thing; it was supposed to be a good thing.
But it's not a good thing.
Need to correct things, Sayu!

Nobody her age had ever paid any positive kind of attention to Sayu. This group of friends being the first, and Sayu was adamantly against it at first because it's her second nature to turn people away, but she's obviously reeling now, from the aftereffects of finally knowing what it's like to be close to somebody. She's empty now, because she's had a taste of that... of the wonders of friendship, and now that it's been so suddenly stripped from her, she can't help but feel lacking.
Sayumi stood very still, her eyes wide open. It really was over. Junjun was treating her just like any other girl and wasn’t teasing her anymore. She had kept her promise.
Treating her just like any other girl shouldn't be too bad a thing, right?
Sayu got special treatment though. She realises it now. She hadn't been targeted or bullied, at all.
Junjun turned around and smiled. “Yes?” she asked. That smile. It wasn’t genuine, like it used to be. It was a mask, a convenient tool to use in order to appear friendly to everyone. It was fake, a lie. No, no, no, Sayumi didn’t want this kind of treatment. She could hear the other girls whispering behind her, talking shit about the “new girl” and how dare she grab Junjun that way. But Sayumi always knew she was selfish and she was going to stay selfish. Especially when it came to Junjun’s attention.
Selfish!Sayu

I really liked this paragraph, btw. The way you conveyed all her thoughts here. Great stuff.

“You’re the one who wanted to be let go,” Junjun continued, “and I gave you what you wanted. Since your wish came true, I’d appreciate it if you leave me alone now and get rid of any false pretenses you have about our relationship. It’s annoying.”
I have a feeling GODLY Jun Jun is using a bit of her psychology on Sayu here. She just has that way with people, lol
BUT yes, OUCH. Poor bunny.

I’ll let her go, even if I have to shake her off… because that’s love.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Is not love.
Love is something you give, not keep to yourself.

OH AND NOW MY DEAR TAKAGAKI

“It’s your face,” Risa teased. “You’re too pretty.”
“Wow. That’s not something I hear every day,” Ai laughed, flattered.
“Really? Well, you can hear it every day now because I’ll tell you every day,” Risa grinned. “I think you’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen, Sensei. One of the smaller reasons why I—”
“And stop right there!” Takahashi-sensei interrupted, frowning. “We’re still in school, you know.”

I swear to God, this is one of the cutest, most amusing Gaki-sans I've ever read. There's just something about her puppy-like forwardness that's so endearing to read. I'm pretty sure I was grinning like an idiot reading this next bit.

“I don’t really care; nobody’s listening anyway,” Risa said, rolling her eyes. “I want to constantly remind you about who I am to you.”
“What are you to me?” the teacher asked.
“Student,” the bean smiled. “But more than that, the one who loves you the most in this world.”
Again. Forwardly-infatuated!Gaki-san FTW!
She needs to keep this up, Ai-chan's gotta crack and give in at SOME point. LOL.

“Gaki-san!” Ai yelled. She dashed forward to her student as the books at the top shelf came crashing down. She managed to push Risa down to the floor just in time and protect her from the falling books by covering her with her own body. The hardcover novels crashed down on Sensei’s back and shoulders, but left Risa without a scratch. Then, there was only silence.

----->

“Konno and Ogawa,” Takahashi-sensei said.
PRAISE THE LORD!Konkon and Makochan helping Cupid along with his endeavours?

She opened the door, pulled her teacher in, and swung her around to sit her down on the cot.
Gaki-san in charge is HELLA attractive. Bee loves.

“Unbutton your blouse,” Risa ordered.

Slowly, Ai started to undo the top buttons of her collar shirt. She then slipped down the left side of the shirt, enough to show a little bit of her bra as well as a full view of her bra straps. There was a large bruise on her shoulder, in the shade of blue and purple.
Thank you, for that image.

Her hair seemed soft and her cheeks seemed smooth… Had she always been this pretty? Before she knew it, Ai was entranced.
I would be entranced by Gaki-san too.

When she's in that forceful, focused mood, it's really very appealing.

Ai didn’t answer. She subconsciously started to lean closer and closer towards the younger girl until their lips were only a couple millimeters apart. Risa’s eyes widened in shock, but she was unable to move away.
“Risa…”
ZOOOOMGGG!
YES!
Ai-chan's self-control is diminishing little by little... the more Gaki-san sticks to her like this, the BETTER. YES.

Suddenly, the school bell rang out, snapping the teacher back to full conscience.

I shoulda thunk.
Chapter 41SAYUJUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN.

FINALLY! YEAH! So… TanaKame and SayuJun have finally found peace and love with each other. I’m now just uber excited to see how TakaGaki are going to make it! ^___^
But enough of that, let’s focus on this chapter.
I was really waiting for Jun Jun to come out of nowhere and wallop all those nasty girls across the head… if not her, then for Sayu to. TALK ABOUT MEAN. Gossiping behind Sayu’s back is one thing, but to openly declare their distaste for her like that? Obnoxious much?
Poor Sayu >___<
When Sayumi lifted her head, something else besides the courtyard below caught her eye. In front of her was an enormous tree that was about the height of the school building itself. The bunny’s memories traveled back to the time when the yankii leader had saved her from the garbage-dumping bullies. Junjun had swung down by this tree to get to the ground faster. It was also where she had cut her palm which led to the bunny band-aids…
NO WAY.

*Sayu’s confession*

I'm so happy that Sayu's finally found the crazy courage to do something like this. Who would've ever expected it from the Sayu we read at the beginning? And that is the power of storytelling and character development.

AND PLEASE LET THE CHALLENGES CONTINUE!
*Jun catches Sayu LOVE*
Like a Prince Charming. I need myself one of these Jun Juns >_______<
Such an awesome moment.
“S-sorry, I’ll get down now—”
“No, stay still,” Junjun said, holding the bunny even closer, bridal style. “It’s okay to stay like this for a little longer…”

They just need to complete their vows now and all will be right with the world (actually, TakaGaki must be TakaGaki first xDD).
Before Sayumi could fully comprehend the yankii girl’s meaning, she found her mouth being fully covered with another pair of lips, moving slowly but hungrily.

YES. PDA not my kind of thing, but it works here just because.
“Listen up, everyone!” Junjun ordered, addressing the crowd of students watching them as well as the audience that was poking their heads out through the window. “As you have all just witnessed, this girl belongs to me now and I belong to her. Anyway who messes with Michishige Sayumi will have to answer to me, understand?”
Jun Jun makes my heart race.

“Wait!” Sayumi yelled. “Did you just say… girlfriend?”
Something wrong, Sayu? xDDD
After all that, what was she really expecting for them to 'become'??? Lol, still so innocent.

“… Whoever can kiss longer without losing her breath wins?” Junjun smirked, leaning in closer.
Best challenge ever.

I could go on to an Arc 2 story (which I have planned if needed) or I could just end it after Arc 1.
So yeah. I'm thinking.
NO. There
must be Arc 2. After all this, not satisfied yet. They've only just gotten together. I want to see more trials and tribulations, thank you very much.

In particular, how will TakaGaki go about their forbidden relationship? How will Sayu fare with being a delinquent's gf? How will TanaKame finally mesh in the flesh?

Hmmm... well that was my 'quick' catch up...

oh wells, I enjoyed it.
THANK YOU FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT, SARANGAI.

Please don't fret too much about updating, you've done a super awesome job so far and the waiting now is something I'm not too fussed about. I guess I'm not much of a junkie like the others? Lol. But I am hooked of course.

Take care, good luck with your studies and work and I will be looking forward to the next chapter!
