    Hey Hiroaki! I'm glad the message was able to reach you. It's pretty saddening to hear that things got quite tight for you, and you weren't able to continue a hobby that - from your writing - you seemed to have a lot of fun with. I understand as well the factor of not being motivated to pick up something once you dropped it (especially if it's a story that you aren't pondering over that much anymore), I too am not able to continue my story due to lack of time, so I think I understand what you mean. But maybe writing could...y'know...alleviate some of these unfortunate happenings and provide some fun and respite among it, like sometimes during stressful times I write a bit and feel like I removed a lot of unwanted stuff from my system, so perhaps it'll do that to you as well.

    Also just want to say that Accepted is extremely far from being lackluster, you took a pretty ordinary concept and setting, but did it justice so well, with interesting and well realized characters, not pulling punches on how broken Toshiro is, not reducing Miyake to just "the bubbly heroine". So many decisions and pitfalls that people writing similar stories fall in you've impressively avoided, and all of this is coated with really varied and sharp prose tbh. Like I don't wanna seem like a jerk or paint writing like it's more important than tending to life, but if you being in a better place rn (Which I'm very glad about btw) makes you pick up the good ol' pen again and write another chapter (or keyboard, lol) It'd really make my day.

    Been binging this for the last 3 days and I guess the most recent chapter came earlier than I thought, lol :')

    This is a really well-written story btw, I tend to consume these SOL/romance/drama stories in visual form, just because I get bored way easier with books, but this has been grabbing and keeping my attention for a remarkable amount of chapters.

    I like the characters and how distinct they are. Everyone has their own personal lens and mold that keeps them from being bland, the chemistry between Toshiro and Miyake is nothing but superb, the chemistry and blooming romance between Iwasaki and Kojima are exciting, Toshiro being so slow and bumpy in his development or budging I think is a nice decision, and your grasp of the language is just extremely advanced, I've probably looked up over 20 words so far (like srsly, how the hell did you find "vivacious" or "lachrymose", and I'm still trying to understand what "Sardonic" means, lol)

    Maybe my only gripes would be some aimless or emptier scenes here and there, like Kojima's bickering with his sister, or some parts in the clothing store, just felt like a bunch of air at times. And also some weird word choice at times but I'm not one to give language advice.

    Also, don't know if you're reading this far, but Miyake's line/text ""Oh, and, I'm pretty over the whole argument thing now! Sorry, I was in the wrong! Haha! Mall tho??" is my favorite line in the 22 chapters, I think it's amazing.

    Best chapter so far.

    I was kind of concerned in the previous chapter at the rate supernatural elements were introduced
    Chapter 1, We got the infinite mansion
    Chapter 2, We discovered Yasuo premonitions
    Chapter 3, The body/mind swap
    Chapter 4, We got to know about an otter that was fluent in Japanese
    Chapter 5, A Yokai town

    So I was concerned that you'd add more supernatural elements instead of slowing things down and exploring them, seeing more of the characters' opinions on them and just generally nuancing them, But I guess I was wrong.

    I'm glad things are settling down a bit and you're giving more breathing room for the characters, I don't know if you're planning to keep things calm for a few chapters or kick things into action again (Tbh, I'd rather the former, I think most readers would be really ready and excited to know more about the town, Akemi, or other inhabitants instead of discovering something new).

    I'm also glad that even though they've switched bodies about two chapters ago, You still point out the little inconveniences and surprises that occur, It really shows how they're still not used to it and makes me ponder and understand their situation way more, So I'm glad the lingering effects of this swap weren't forgotten or pushed to the side.

    Funniest chapters so far, I don't laugh out loud that much while reading text, But "I'm sorry, Mister Crown Tengu. Feel free to just kill me now, If you'd like." and "Well, I can see why you died in battle, at least" were really funny

    And the chapter with the best custom design so far, I quite like the clothes and general look of the characters.

    Really excited for the next chapter, And sorry if this was too long of a comment lol.
