Basically, in the end, Ranma was brainwashed in the Senshi Conversion Process to not only have no problem being a girl, but to actually do away with ever being a man again & taking away any illusions of choice s/he might now have. This, despite stated depression issues compounded between 2 lives, has no lasting issues or consequences & even claims she's "happy/brainwashed". She then claims she's glad to have "1" choice taken away as long as the rest are her own... But they're not. She was altered to think in a certain way from that point on & therefore no longer makes ANY choice as they were decided from an Altered Mindset to think in a certain way... (Simplified, if a hypnotist made some think they're a duck, does that mean it's that person's "choice" to quack for the rest of their life?)

Well, whatever. Good story otherwise, I don't even have a problem with Ranma staying a girl & becoming a Senshi. I just have pet peeves regarding Mind Control/Alteration/Conditioning & it then being brushed off, in character, as being for their own good or benefit without the character responding in anger or even lashing out. Especially when they are tricked to believe they should be thankful or guilty at being angry about it.

Enjoying reading this for the umpteenth time. I do feel the ending let Ranma's issues with trust and self-determination slide a bit too easily - feels like it needs an alternative "dark" ending where he loses his rag at Nodoka's inanity and things go downhill from there.

Honestly this was a great story, would love to see what happened after but oh well.

Glad I gave this story a chance, it was enjoyable to read. Thank you for the time you spent working on this.

You understand how disturbing this is?
It was Ranma's naked form blushing like a demure schoolgirl with a crush.
And then Gaea refers to him as a she, while wearing the male form while everyone assumes Gaea is female...

It's confusingly painfully embarrasing.

Yeah, I can see why you would tentatively believe Nabiki, she's good at what she does. And that is the reason why I would not believe her .
Hypnotize and make her tell everything, is probably the best option.

I hate that you ended the story there as I have been enjoying this story. I also hate how you left out Chibimoon.

"they weren't interested in a relationship that went beyond platonic, since their friendship had taken root between two girls"

Such a homophobic and misogynistic statement...you may as well had Ranma state that "he was no fag" and that "all girls looked like sex slaves to him". Yes, I exaggerate a little, but your statement there was little more than a euphemism for a disgusting set of ideals.

Plus the whole thing with Kasumi not wanting to physically comfort male Ranma was just such BS. It makes their so called "incredible friendship" seem pathetic. A little bit of embarrasment that may come from Kasumi's and/or Ranma's physical attraction to the other should be worth helping a friend in a difficult time.

And that's ignoring all the character bashing (although at least you had the grace to not make Akane and Ukyo 100% flaws).

Very nice use of the episode Ranma thinks he's a girl.
I don't believe anyone has used it like that.

And very few have used it in fics at all.

Really enjoyed the job on showing a social aspect of the cross over rather then just. Now your a senshi go fight for justice.

This was really good.
Thank you for writing and sharing this.

Ok im half way through the story and so far i love it! I just love your angle on all of this and everyone's perspective you have done a wonderful with this i am going to go finnish this story then review again ja ne.

Wow, pretty deep at the moment.

I like the dichotomy of Ranma\Hestia.

Since when was Ranma's fear so bad he couldn't even escape two cats? This fic started out lacking a good deal of common sense and has since only degenerated further into the realm of nonsensical character motivations.

If a large part of a character's motivation for not wanting to meet other characters (which has driven a significant portion of the plot) turns out to be shallow and unsubstantiated and easily overcome, of course the entire story is going to suffer. Which is a real shame since, as far as I can tell, you have a great deal of writing ability. Unfortunately, writing ability and plotting abilities don't always walk hand in hand.

Thanks for posting!
