Excelent writing style. I really liked Ritsuka's admission to what he wished for at the end of the story. I feel, however, I must point out only one thing. In one of the manga (volume 6 or 7, I beleive), it is revealed that Ritsuka's birthday is in the middle of Winter, only a few days before Christmas. That was the onyl mistake I caught, and other than that tiny fluke, it was an excellent story.
