Hehe, sure... Let's see... Firstly, Asuka and Juudai again: it was a very good initial set-up to start their friendship and future romance off with, Juudai showing so clearly that he values Asuka as a duelist and as a person, not for her looks. And Fubuki's part in it was well-played; he would come up with a scheme like that. He seems the sort to do lots of things which end up bothering Asuka, but out of genuine concern for her. He just doesn't always know how to show his love ;P
Junko and Momoe were awesome (I'm getting back into using that pesky new tablet, so I'll probably start on the lineart for their fanart soon!)- you actually managed to keep some of their minimal original characterization and really build on it.
Hayako... I love that she had her own path to follow, but that you didn't shove her to the side in expectation of that- she still had her own important arcs and contributed to the story before that.
Kaiser Ryoko...I really love that you explored how her *coughrepressednaturecough* caused her to often be disconnected from others, failing to give the impression she wanted to. She never wanted her opponents to be so crushed by her defeats, but her communication of her desire for them to rise up to her level was...not very good ;) The resentment some had against her, and how her resentment of that contributed to her fall later on, was very believable.
Misawa was just awesome, you know that ;) And Manjoume's romantic troubles were there but in a more believable, toned-down manner, I like that.

Enough compliments for now? ;P
