I just LOVED IT. Karin needed self esteem and good people, this is just lovely.

I was just watching a YouTube video about Team Hebi/Taka (here it is if you want to view it: watch?vxla7RHKdBko ) and everyone was bashing on Karin. Heck, I was bashing on Karin! Then I saw this one person who posted a comment about how they hated Karin too but then liked Karin after reading this. I scoffed, and thought to myself that this person must have been a SasuKarin shipper to like Karin after reading something. Boy was I wrong. This story is beautiful and it moved my heart so much and it made me hate myself a bit about how I was flaming this character who was underwritten. Karin's story could've been written so much better and you just proved that right now. Coming from a person who hated Karin to the ends of the earth, this story is amazing and will load you with feels.

This I literally the best and most angelic sasusaku fanfic I have ever read. And it wasn't even mainly focusing on sasusaku! Honesty I'm planning on written a sasusaku fanfic and I was thinking about making Karin nice but oh, you just take the cake. You wrote Karin so perfectly, so beautifully. You somehow managed to grab the complex personality of a damaged and traumatized soul and mend that into a true and beautiful light. You, author-sama, are a true and noble fanfic writer. /

THIS IS how Karin should've been written.

I am all about the Karin and Sakura dynamic. I always knew they'd be best friends if they ever got to know each other and I'm so hyped that I'm starting to find fics where that plays out. I love love love this. Thank you!

I like Karin too. And I love her so much more after reading this!

This is honestly what she should be in the fandom. THIS is who Karin is, a girl who was isolated, used, and manipulated, a girl who was so starved for affection that she took it out on someone who would never reciprocate. But she's a girl who IS strong, feisty, caring, and highly competitive and protective over whoever she feels deserves it the most.

Karin's one of my favorite characters...when she's portrayed properly.

Loving this (and you) so much ~Scarlet

SakuKarin friendship is canon

so beautiful and refreshing... it's different with the usual bitchy karin in typical naruto fanfictions and it's so good to know the connection between karin and sakura which kind of canon and implied in naruto gaiden
as always, great job author!

A really good story :) Short and sweet. Love it!

Loving all your one-shots, and I'm basically binge reading them all. I like the theme of moving on and redemption and accepting the past that echoes as time transitions in the story. It's actually quite rare to see Karin portrayed as anything other than a zealous fangirl, so I think the dimension you've given her character is beautiful to read; makes you realise that everyone has a story, right? Thank you for the lovely work. :)

I know this was forever ago but I just read it and I ADORE it
I've wanted to read a Karin being friends with Sakura story ever since I read Gaiden

I like Karin too. Thanks so much for writing this. It's nice to see fics where she gets along with Sakura. And I enjoyed the SuiKa hints in the end.

i love how you made Karin an actual person instead of some second-lead female cut-out! Also, strong female friendships make me happy.

I like Karin, too. I like Sasuke and Sakura more, but I hate that everyone always puts Karin and Sakura against each other. I really like this one-shot, thank you for opening me up to Karin!

Actually, this is really good. Karin's usually shown as a flat-out bad person and here you've given her a voice. I usually despise SasuSaku (even though that's not the main point here), I'd like to believe that since they do end up together, shes made her peace with it, and with Konoha.
