The Kyoto Chronicles... overall, an interesting read.
Ukyou is portrayed well, as is the Kuonji family & Saotomes...
I feel Nodoka is a tad OOC in it, but it's not a bad thing, imho.
Humor in this'n is nice.

the only thing that I feel needs improvement in the story is
the frenchy-type villian.  Granted, with one hit he gets
KO'ed.... but he evades Ranma's attacks with alarming _ease_.
With all Ranma villians before, Ranma came out on top because
he overcame his enemy's technique and further improved his own.
The only exception to this, I believe, was Saffron, in which
Akane played a part in his defeat.

So far, the only way to beat him is to land a sucker-punch.
Now, while that may be viewed as True Anything Goes style ^.-
it's still not something I'd expect outta Ranma.  I'd expect
him to be able to take'em out eventually in a one-on-one
match.

BUT aside from that, it reads nice, and I'm looking forward to
where the writer is taking this fic.  It's worth a read,
give it a try.
