fic: MK darker tale
This is a Magic Kaito fic I've been working on for a while now, and it's still in a pretty rough form. Anybody want to give me a hand with it? Or even tell me if it's worth continuing?

"I often refer to Hakuba as ‘Saguru’ because that’s his first name, and who thinks of themselves by their last name? The parts in present tense are from an omniscient narrator’s point of view, so he is referred to as ‘Hakuba’ there."
Just wanted to say, though, that Saguru is his last name, not first name, and Hakuba is his first name. ^^
Just wanted to comment on that, otherwise, lovely story.

Hakuba is the last name/surname and Saguru is his first name!!!!!!!!!!
In Japan last names are written first and after them first name.
白馬探 Hakuba Saguru
黒羽快斗 Kuroba Kaito
工藤新一 Kudou Shinichi
服部平次 Hattori Heiji
I read original manga MK so I KNOW and next time think twice before you write anything!!!!!!!!
And about your question, summercloud, dear.
It depends. In Japan people address others by last name until they are really, really good old friends. It's their culture and in manga Kaito address Saguru as Hakuba but since you write in English you can use Saguru as in English culture people are addressing others by the first name (^___^)

(sorry I accidentally clicked before I wrote the second part)
And because of that culture some people may think of themselves using their last names or sometimes full names. All of it depends on the culture. I can't decide what to use when thinking because it depends also on the persons character. Hakuba is so serious that I think he would use his last name, maybe (~_~;)

Oh, I get it. I was right, right? I'm glad you liked the fic enough to comment! I wrote this a while ago, so it tickles me and makes me happy when people find it. Thanks for the advice. ^_^
