"screeched"

"aroma"

"gullible"


: Tanya glared from the rooftops.  {'ey's a bloody

Quite strong language here.  Normally not something I would
complain about, but it rather stands out in a Ranma fic.  I'd keep
it a little cleaner.

"area"


: (camera switches to Ryouga, walking through the inside of Ucchan's)

: 	RANMA

It should say "Ranma" in the first bracket and "restaurant" in
the second.  That misspelling of "restaurant" turns up a few
times, elsewhere in this fic.

: LEGAL STUFF

: "Two Okonomiyaki and a spatula" done by Ryan Mathews (thanks =)
: modified from "Where it's at" by Beck

The question is, how did Ukyou get the permission to use this
song?  Or did she *infringe upon a copyright*?!  :)


:    As he picked up his ukulele and strummed whimsically, a gigantic,
: behemoth, bronze pinapple was slowly ascending the school, lifted to its

"pineapple"


:    Thinking of Akane quickly sunk her mood back to neutral.

"sank"  And before some smartass with a dictionary turns up to
point out that "sunk" is correct for past tense, too, I'll admit
that, indeed, it is, if somewhat antiquated.  It's up to you.


: There is no school, the
: resteraunt where he is known to inhabit was closed and locked, and... I...
: AM... BORED!!!" 

"restaurant" and you don't inhabit *at* a place, you just inhabit
it, thus the "where" should be a "that", I think.


:    Ryouga spent the rest of the night wandering aimlessly across town.
: Much to his surprise, he didn't leave the city of Japan.

"The *city* of *Japan*"?


: She looked every bit the hansome young man, she did.

"handsome"


:    She entered and found herself in a very... eurpean setting.

"european"


These parts were excellent.  They had what was lacking in parts
1-5, i.e. a sense of direction and plot.  Part 8 was particularly
great - I loved it.

I did only read the three _TPoH_ chapters, though, and left
Tanya's origin for some later time.  Preferably not around one in
the morning, as it is now, so I can appreciate it properly.  :)
