Tamahome:
I'm laughing, but I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be... which, of course, makes it all funnier.
While the first Primer follows the "See Spot Run" theme very closely, and it works, the theme seems to get mislaid a little in the following books. The effort for the author to stay in the extremely restrictive format is obvious. The fifth Primer, especially, is out of the very flat format of describing *only* what the child would see and comprehend. Although I can see that others would feel it still fits, for me it's out of the mould, and so a bit jarring... but still very enjoyable.
I love how the fourth wall gets continuously broken, and the fangirls and author interact with the characters. The Ashitare parts are suitably gross for small children (funny how it's only after you turn ten that you get squeamish) and I love the Chiriko and Mitsukake parts. (Believe me, Mitsukake - my avatar in the author's world would DEFINITELY notice if you streaked in the Palace!)
There's only one question I have to ask you, Night~Mare - what did the Legendary Laurelgand do to get you to let her corral Mitsukake?

Mitsukake:
Tamahome...Man, there are just some things that you do NOT need to share with me. @___@ *edges away*
With regards to the fic itself: I. Feel. So. Violated. O.o Aside from that bit of personal bias...THIS WAS GREAT! "Go censor screen GO!!" :D Like my fellow seishi said, I'm laughing and I shouldn't be. *thumbs up*
It's twisted, off-the-wall, random, and has more "H_H"-worthy comments than the Seishi on Acid chat files! "naughty Tenkou stole Taka's balls"...dear GOD, I haven't laughed this hard in weeks!
(And I would ALSO like to know why you felt the need to let Laurelgand molest me repeatedly, Night Mare. *is mentally scarred for life* Although, knowing my luck you're all probably in on the evil plot. @_@)

Nuriko:
*DIES laughing*
Oh... my... sweet Suzaku, that was FUNNY! *Snicker* He ain't got the balls... *Cracks up all over again*
*Snicker* Okay, I'm fine now. *Straightens up again and clears his throat* I loved this. I was afraid of waking up the other seishi because I was reading this at O dark thirty in the morning and nearly had a coronary trying to stay quiet. No typos that I saw, the grammar was great, and the author did an excellent job os staying within the style of the 'lessons'.
Now... can we maybe see a few more of the Tama jokes?
*Runs for his lil' gay life.*
4 kasas!

Tasuki:
*Grins*
*Grins so hard his face hurts*
Why didn' they have stories like these when I was learnin' ta read? I mighta been more in'trested! I don't see anythin' wrong with laughin' about this! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! Laugh with me! Laugh with me, DAMMIT!
Okay, I liked these, really! Of course, the kid that reads these will be scarred for life! So they started ta go out of their original form, who cares? They were still great! There was humor, and action, and Ashitare eatin' people, and screamin' and censor bars, and Bakahome bashin'!
I give this two thumbs up and those kasa thingies!

Chichiri:
Oh Suzaku those were HILARIOUS no da!!! I enjoyed them so much I was sorry when I finished.
I almost wish they could be illustrated. Note I said ALmost no da! (Some things are best not put in pictures.) But this was such a delightful bit that it's going on my list of personal favorites and it gets five kasas no da!!!
