I would have to agree on this point. At first, I thought the worst of Kinuko,
thinking her a total loser and cruel and cold hearted. But after reading the
last part, I kinda feel a desire for her to go with Ranma, to be happy since
she seems to have gone through a hard childhood and only now has found
something stable and happy and feels the need to push it away before it is
taken from her. *sighs* It has a bittersweet feeling of beauty to it that
makes her seem like a better matchup with Ranma than Akane. Which is not a bad
thing. ^_-

All in all, I loved it and wish I had the other parts to see what else had
improved. ^^;;
