Just wanted to thank you for the fanfic haven\'t played (no that\'s not right read yea that\'s better) Kana Little Sister in 10+ years, came across this site today and the emotional attachment came right back as if i only read her story the other day. you have done a wonderful job with the story! kinda wish i hadn\'t disregarded your comments on Blinding White had to stop a few time and get some air but its a great over all story that holds true to the original even if it\'s very very sad. so once again thank you for bringing the wonderful story back after all these years

Oh my God..............what a fantastic story. It had me from the word go. Especially the final series; i felt myself reliving the KLS game (just like the game, I cried once more)
You have done an amazing job bringing closure to such a wonderful game.
I really hope they make an anime series out of the game; hopefully use your work as well?
I cannot thank you enough.
Cheers and all the best in you future endeavors :)

Greetings, Darkling. This is Mike, from Latvia, Europe. Yesterday stumbled across this website, and read all 3 fanfics.
Before telling my opinion about them, I would like to say few things.
5 days ago played "Kana" for the first time. And...

...I... cried. Yeah, I cried. Strange, for the 25-year old man, huh? :)
Just after completing the game for the first time (got Ending 2, "Recollections"). But I knew that "it shouldn't have ended like this", and decided to completely dig through that game. And after some time... yay, I did it! That's what I thought, straight after getting the Ending 1. I was glad and really happy for both Taka and Kana, and that their pains & suffers have ended. But at the same time I asked myself - "wait a second... something's wrong here. If Kana is alive and well, and also she decided to move out - what about Taka, and his feelings towards her? Should it end like this, and they will settle their lives or there might be a chance for them to be together again?" I couldn't find answer to this question, until I found yesterday your website. And started to read these fanfics. Need to mention that even after completely finishing the game, I felt pain. Mental pain. I swear that this game definetely did something to me - I had a really awful mood for few days, and I couldn't get back to the real life. Dunno, why... guess that I'm a bit overemotional man (game's music also had its effect on me... but still, Kana's OST is great!). Well...

...and you know what? First 2 fanfics have returned me to my good mood - you know, like some sort of a healing. I could have sweared that "My Sister, My Strength" and "New Blooms" are more "official", than "fanfics". And I was glad... until I read "Blinding White".

...****, that was harsh. Again, same situations from the game, just like you mentioned in your general notes. Yeah, I understand that Kana's transplant could fail, with a... sad and emotional result. But seriously... was it really necessary to do that? Even if to look at real things, there might be a slight chance to make Kana healthy and well again, considering the nowadays' medicine. Really, I thought that she (and Taka as well) have suffered enough in her life, and definetely deserves more prolonged life. Seems that didn't happen.

Well, what I do want to ask - this is it? The End? Or... these are just your thoughts, how it should have been ended? I mean, for a fanfic - someone might write his own fanfic, and be glad about it... or to put in other words - we, as players, are free to think our own possible endings, based on Ending 1? And at the same time - maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that Ending 1 was quite "happy end"-ful. Taka's decision (and ours as well) was to SAVE HIS SISTER, no matter what the cost'll be (his kidney in this case), and she was saved. Saved to build her own life and future... ehm... from clean slate? If that - Taka succeeded. Or there could be something more than that?

Still, maybe I could have accepted that in "Blinding White" Kana lived her life as she wanted to. Family, job, loved husband, and she wasn't afraid that this time, her time is almost over. For she had a happy life until that. BUT. I cannot. Really. No matter, how much I'm trying to - I CANNOT. Maybe because I'm an optimistic person, or maybe because I believe that "the best is yet to come". Kana is a part of me, of my soul, or even - of my life (and even maybe of those people, who played it and felt all game's emotions). She changed the way I look at life today (really, she did). And even if the game delivered me an emotional fracture, I will still play it, no matter what. Because... TAKA WANTS HER TO LIVE. I WANT HER TO LIVE. WE ALL WANT HER TO LIVE. Seriously, I neved expected that a GAME will rise all these emotions and feelings inside me. But, again, it did. And everytime I will play it, and get Ending 1, I will smile, with the tears on my eyes, when looking at the pictures of Kana and Taka's goodbye, at same time hearing track 8 from game's CD. Because it gives me a belief. Belief in their happiness, no matter, will they be together in the future (as a couple, I mean), or not.

I discovered KLS just lately, and I'm glad I did. Just like (almost) anybody who went through this game, I was touched by it
.
After going through all 6 endings, I started seeking for informations and stumbled on your fanfics. I started reading "My sister, My strength" with a grin, because I myself imagined something similar to what you wrote, but what made your fanfic really special was that the way the characters behaved feels every bit the way I expected them to after playing the game for some time, and the way you laid out the text seems alot like if it belonged to the game itself, so overall it felt more like an "official" epilogue of ending 1 than a fanfic (especially after seeing the flash movies). AFAIC the story could end like this, but "New Blooms" really added to it, with Taka and Kana clarifying and reconciling with Yumi and Yuta. Only thing, I kind of expected their parents to be a little harder to accept their relationship. I don't know if I'm going to read "Blinding White", you wrote such a perfect ending to the game that I wish to let my fantasy work from there on :)
Anyway, I really enjoyed reading your work, so, since you were so kind to share it, I thought I'd share my thoughts too. Thank you.

I stumbled upon Kana and this website years ago, and I'd just want to say that I haven't forgotten you all :)

Merry Christmas!

I read your Kana fanfics years ago (close to a decade?) and I loved them then. It has given me more feelings and inspirations that you probably know =P

I thought about putting so many jokes here but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I think actually posting here is comedic enough ^_^

After reading your fanfics, I have a few things to say.

First, thank you for prolonging my fantasies of Kana, even after the game ended.
Second, that was some of the most amazing writing I've seen.
Third, it was very emotional.

That said... I can't believe Kana died. She shouldn't have to die. I couldn't accept it the first time I read it, and I don't accept it now. I know it was probably more emotional writing it for you than reading it for me, but I can't understand your thought process during it.
Life goes on, as it must, but I believed at least fantasies should do everything to negate that. I don't care much for realism when there's a choice between letting someone live and letting someone die.

The story sure did leave an impact, but I wish it hadn't.
Thanks for your time.

Hey Darkling, thanks for the fanfics, they were wonderful.
Though that Hinoshi(if I got his name right, or was it Hiroshi?) guy was a fag, I'm still annoyed with him for slapping Kana after a whole day from reading it, and another ironic part is how Taka didn't even kill the guy and ended up getting spinal injury. If Hinoshi really loved Kana instead of going to her apartment and slapping her and making her lose her job he would accept her decision and not start spazzing away -.-'

Anyways, are you gonna keep writing about Taka and Kana's life in Osaka? You've helped me make Ending one much more solid, so maybe you could chart some of their lives in Osaka, such as a marriage or something? I'd like to seea "happily ever after" instead of a "and off they go with a spinal injury Taka and Kana earning the livings for both of them in a strange new place" ending, though it was still nice.

Thanks for writing man, I appreciate it. A lot :) But now I wanna shoot Hinoshi,evenif he's not real, but I guess you understand how I feel if you've played the game :D
Mind emailing me back? I could try helping you write or ideas or something if you want :) Thanks.

Hello Darkling.

I'm half Austrian, half Slovak. Spending my 2nd decade in Slovakia I always felt the similarities with Japanese culture. Not just the winters. But habits at home and addresses in speech. So my culture was always close to Japan's even though we're quite far apart.

Now in my thirties I stumbled upon my first (and it seems last) bishoujo game, Kana. I also got ending 5 1st. Each ending kept me up long nights only to devastate me once reached. But the 'True Ending' really scarred me, since there was nothing better waiting.

You probably stopped at least on person in Adelaide from driving off a cliff... So all I really want to say to you is...

Thank you.

Nice work.

Love your fanfics.
It made my eyes wet, almost crying sometimes, and I'm a guy in my mid 30's.
Doubt the creators of Kana: Little Sister could do better.

Will you add something after blinding white?

I bought & played Kana ~Little Sister~ about a year ago & absolutely loved the game. Like yourself, I found Ending 1 a little lacking. Then I found your fanfic & I must say: it is awesome. Made me cry out of joy & sadness as much as the game did.

Darkling, your fanfic is absolutely epic! I doubt Yamada Hajime himself could've written a better sequel for Kana ~Little Sister~ than your fanfic. Keep being awesome, man! *fistbump*

I Just wanted to say that I first got ending 5 and I cried for about an hour after Kana died. I followed a walkthrough so I could get the good ending and I cried after it. I fell so in love with Kana that I wanted her to be a real person. I found this site and read through your stories and I wanted to say thank you for putting into words what I was thinking. It is truely a touching story on many levels. Thanks again!

Hey there, I'm from that recent playthrough topic on GameFAQS with the same username. I have to say, I really enjoyed your fanfics a lot. Thanks for making these. This is actually the first time I ever read any fanfiction and will probably be the last time I ever read fanfiction for any series. . .

I just had to say you done a great job with this.
Brung up some good and memories .

Shead tears of sadness and happiness.

{Didn't think THAT was going to happen again}

Once again.....Great work.

Great job with the fanfics, dude! You're a talented writer. Do you have any aspirations to become a professional writer? ;)
I like your website. Keep up the good work!

Check the GameFAQs board for some more comments ;)

Greetings from Holland

I thank you deep from my heart for the great fanfic.

Greetings from Germany

I must say. I´m a late player of KLS. Just started (and quickly finished) playing it in the last 2 weeks. It really mix your emotions. I got "snow" first. But I couldn´t keep trying the best ending for Taka and Kana (yes I´ve tried all of the six endings). One thing for sure: I´ve just finished reading "My sister, my strenght" and this is really a "best ending" for this beautiful story. I think now I´m ready to go forward to the nest chapters... It´s like if Taka and Kana really exists :)
Thank you for all your work. Greetings from Europe.

Man when I was reading "Blinding White" at the part where Kana was dieing. I kept saying "YOU *******!" every time Taka had a flashback to happy times with Kana. It just made me feel that more sad when she died.

I was surprise that you went that far in "Blinding White". But it was good that you went that far. IT made the story more real.

I just hope that when I finally post my Kana fanfic. That it will be at lest half as good as yours.
