Reading this thread has been enjoyable. I really thought there'd be more Akemi votes, though. There's the whole mysteriousness of who she is and everything, but further than that, Akemi and Ukiko's relationship is so complex and intriguing. There's the teacher/student bond that she has with Ukiko... Like, doesn't everyone want someone like that in their life, someone to help unlock life's mysteries and direct them onto the right path? Compound that aspect of their relationship with the suggestion of another connection between them, one based on personal attraction... and boom we have magic. One of my favorite scenes is their first kiss in Meta.
Wow, all this has got my mind geared to read more kabuki. I think I'll go back and re-read some of the stories until new stuff comes out. I know Dave's got a lot on his plate right now, but does anyone know what his current plans are for continuing this landmark series?
