For my first light novel, your writing is exceptional! I can't help but compare your writing to water flowing smoothly against Haru... as Haru best describes it. Aha! XD I also have to say there's more emotional depth and characterization between Rin, Haru, and Makoto compared to the anime. That's a plus considering I wasn't fond of haru until now! I am sad though that Rei isn't in the VN. I wish he's in the LN now D:. Although after realizing Free!'s potential, I wished KyoAni put some serious thought into developing the anime. I think the series could have succeeded as KyoAni's first "serious" all boy anime with some hot bishounens. X3
