The concept was amazing. The characters had incredible potential. The conflict was gripping, and the lore and world setting were compelling.
So disappointing to see it end at what might as well be a prologue with that build-up.
But, I guess for what we've been given, thinking of it as a prologue, it was good.
I wish I could give more thought to Ayumi's choice with Reika; knowing we won't be getting more, I guess it's "tidy", if nothing else. Not particularly poignant, and certainly feels like a comma, more than a period.
Just kinda depressing, and wholly unsatisfying purely because it was so good, up to that point.
Alas.
The TL note at the end concerning the title was illuminating, though.
So thank you for your work on this series. I don't think we got nearly enough, but I'm grateful that you put this out here for me to find even in its larval stage like this.
