Lovely Story, lovely ending...
I am slightly baffled as to if the bat on her cheek is really the birth-mark they claim to be... If that is so how come her "father" (not blood related) had the exacs same one at the exact same place!?

Otherwise good story!

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I saw it was a one-shot so I thought I'd give it a go (as it wouldn't take long) and I actually rather enjoyed it. It's a shame that it seems not many people have heard of it...

I personally loved it, it had amazing action in it even though it was just drawn on paper, I think it would make a great movie!
I think that it had a very good story and great art work from an artist's point of view. too bad I can't find it again.

I loved its storyline and characters, i think this is probably one of the best one shots i've read.Though i agree with Friendlysoul, its not that convincing of a birth mark, but it works ^^

For a One-shot, it wasn't bad at all.

Another piece of Arakawa-sensei's brilliant work~ : 3
And yeah, I kind of felt like reading everything she's ever done~

Henpukumaru, such a weird name for such a wonderful character~ <3

That was good. I was surprised that she was a woman, and the ending was quite bittersweet.
