From: Cherry Greg <mango.sentinel@gmail.com> Chris, words can hardly begin to describe how horrified I am at the new influx of pages. I understand that many other fans, and especially ex-fans, have been pushing you to introduce more mature themes in your stories, but what you fail to realize is that the difference between what you did and what occurred in Asperchu is that all the deaths in Asperchu were NOT against representations of real people, but cartoon characters that do not exist in the real world. Furthermore, when a character dies in a story, it's generally supposed to be dramatic; what you did to Alec and his partners was gratuitous and what I can only assume was wish fulfillment on your part, because I can't imagine any other reason you would make such elaborate tortures for each person unless you truly wished it upon them. I've given you the benefit of the doubt in the past, but I can't read your comic anymore; the sexualization of Rosechu was bad enough, but this is over the line. Like I said, I know others have pushed for you to bring more maturity into Sonichu, but your understanding of what is 'mature' is about on par with my 12 year old nephew. This is the last issue of Sonichu I will ever read, and I will urge all the Sonichu fans I know to make it the last one they read as well.

From: David Hubbard <longcat3@yahoo.com> Dear Chris, On the Cwcipedia pages for Rosey and Sonee, you said that they evolve at a high friendship, or happiness level, however, your newest character, Sandy Rosechu evolved after only one week! This must mean that she is happier than Robbie, Cerah, and Christine. Are Sonichu and Rosechu bad parents? Their kids are clearly very unhappy, or else they would have evolved by now!

From: Hal Emmerich <konotaismywaifu@yahoo.jp> Chris, exactly how strong would you say the average Sonichu or Rosechu is? I'm only asking because recently, one of them was not only fainted, but killed by an attack from a Voltorb. Voltorbs have a very low physical attack power, about equal to Luvdisc, a very feeble pokemon. Even a powerful move like Explosion wouldn't be very powerful against your average fully evolved Pokemon. Using Raichu as an example, the average explosion from a Voltorb of equal level to a Raichu would leave a Raichu alive with energy to spare, and certainly not faint it, much less kill it. My only conclusion from this is that Sonichus and Rosechus are incredibly weak Pokemon, and that it's probably a good thing that they are very fast, because if an attack ever struck them, they would probably die as easily as Simonla did.
