Hey, Senpai, it's been so long since your last update.. Are you still going to continue this story.. I hope you will.. I like it..

Is this ever going to get updated? I tortured myself by reading through the whole thing again even though I knownit stops here huhuuu I hope you pick this up again!

Ohoho, I can't wait to read more~

p

So... I know you said that it was very unlikely you keep undating this story... but yeah 'Hope is The Last Thing to Lose'.

I wish someday... you go back to this fic.
I really love it and It is a shame that just end like that :(
I have to admit my AkayaAn shipper's heart was broken with that end but... nevertheless I loved your OC so much. Especially Suzuki. She is totally awesome!
Because of that, i really hope you can finish it someday.

PS: Suzuki could envy me because I actually have a black cat called Pepper (this is totally random i know XD)

Okay so I will admit that your story summary didn't quite interest me. It made me quite apprehensive, to be honest, but seeing the number of reviews you managed to garner, I thought "Eh, might as well give it a try." And giving this story a chance was probably one of the best decisions I've in 5 months. This wonderful currently-has-78-chapters fic has managed to worm its way onto my heart (and into my favorites list). This is definitely one of the fics I'd love to come back to one day and reread for the heck of it.

I quite like how you took on a different approach with the OCs. Normally, authors would introduce a lot of female characters who will complement the canon characters then write out elaborate plots that end with most, if not all, characters being with the girl they like. I truly like how you didn't really bother much with the romance (except for a few chosen people like Yukimura and even Kirihara) and focused more on what the characters did in their time in High School. On another note, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE URAYAMA-OYAMA PAIR THOUGH LIKE UUUUUUGH WHY COULDN'T OYAMA BE A CANON CHARACTER? I'D TOTALLY ROUTE FOR THOSE TWO!

Kinda sad that you didn't push through with the KiriAn pair though. I always did like the thought of those two ending up with each other. But ah well, c'est la vie! You can't really win them all.

Anyway, I see you haven't updated in a while. But I won't lose hope. I read some chapters back that you plan on getting this fic to a hundred chapters. You've already managed to post 78 so far, so I have no doubt that you'll be able to complete this in the future (maybe not in the near future, but in the future nonetheless).

I just found this, and I know you haven't updated in a long time but... Well... This story is awesome! I really hope you can get back into it an finish because I really like the way you've fleshed out and matured the characters! I'll admit that the Sanada problem dragged out a little longer than I would've liked, and KiriAn is one of my favorite pairings, but other than that I've loved everything about the story! I really want to know how nationals turn out!

Are you going to keep writing? I love this fic more than any of your others.

Hi! I was just wondering if you're ever going to come back to this story? I had the crazy idea to reread the entire thing and it made me wish for some kind of ending even more. If you're not I wish you luck with whatever you're doing now. Sorry to bother you :)

Pleasepleasepleasepleeeeease update this! :D love this story

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Rikkaidai is my favorite and you are fabulous for writing this. Please update soon!

A nice egotistical ass? Those are rare, like unicorns and lepricons that actually share their gold. Make no mistake, I've seen both, but still, pretty rare. And I love this fan fiction. It's really interesting how you characterize Sanada. Is he gonna have a soap of his own to go through?

Wow 0-0 so it actually is possible to chip a tooth on a fence!

OH MY GOD, THAT IS JUST NOT FAIR, THE MAIN OC IS TALLER THAN I AM AND THAT'S STILL CALLED SHORT -_-

I LOVE THIS STORY! The writing, the structured plot, the characters... I'm impressed by everything about it :) But what I admire the most is your dedication to it. 78 chapters! 2 years! Wow, I really hope I can become as great a writer as you someday :)
