Here are my thoughts for the epilogue:
The moment that I've been dreading is finally here! Well, all good things have to come to an end but you did say that you'd be writing side stories and stuff so I'm glad!
The epilogue is an all-around happily-ever-after that our heroines deserved.
The opening had me smirking in front of my laptop with Acchan screaming her head off at her poor husband. "Stupid" is the word that binds this couple together

Then came the exchange between Takamina and Yuko.
“That’s… not my daughter, thank you,” Takamina said in a flat voice.
Yuko blinked, “Ah, no wonder… I was wondering why that one wasn’t jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Then again, she could have inherited your defective genes…”
HAHAHA! I can totally imagine this scene! These two midgets are LOL brothers for life!
I'm glad you didn't explicitly pair Miichan and Mariko together. It's not that I have anything against this pairing but it'd seem kind of forced if everyone belonged to a couple.
As my comment will not be complete without a mention of my OTP, I'm gonna say this:
MAYU AND YUKI'S BABY WILL BE THE NEXT MOST ADORABLE THING EVER!!!
Cyborg baby with huge round eyes FTW! (Actually, if I seriously try to imagine it, it's kinda freaky.)
Finally, my reply to your afterword:
I'm glad my comments helped you in one way or another but I feel bad for commenting so late for such an awesome story. I have Lurker's Syndrome but I decided that I needed to let you know how much I love and appreciate R I V E R. It's definitely up to par with the PV and it even exceeded it because there's only so much the PV can show us while you breathed life into the characters and made them not just cool chicks in uniforms but funny, loyal and real comrades-in-arms. I will definitely follow any side stories you post for River. One suggestion, if you don't mind, will be a look at what the girls got up to during their month-long vacation. And - this is just wishful thinking on my part - I'm keen to read how Yuki and Mayu got together. Aside from the fact that they are my OTP, I'm intrigued by their relationship because they tend to project this love-hate, flirting-bickering image.
Wow this comment is getting long

but I'm pumped up for the multi-chaptered stories you are working on! You have a flair for writing and managing a big cast. You give attention to every character so even if your focus is on a particular girl or pairing, the others won't be just wallflowers. Instead, they spice up the story! This, is what I really like about your writing. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more works from you!
P.S. Gosh, I had to retype everything above because the internet had to disconnect the very moment I clicked 'Preview'
