Allie is such a great addition to the cast and a perfect foil to Diana. It was kind of funny how blunt Nekotarou was with this chapter to push Allie as Diana's endgame while also giving us nuggets of Natori's backstory and elaborating a little more on the setting. Clearly this is just a breather...
Decent ending all things considered but still, is hard not feeling underwhelmed by how rushed everything was, you can clearly see there are glimpses of a larger and better story that unfortunately wasn't allowed to be.

Sometime's commentary on the final chapters.
Interestingly, she admits that Violet's "I spent too much time hating Frost" nonsense was her idea.
That is one of the strongest hooks of the series, IMO. The way that Lapis treads masterfully the edge between one-dimensional villain and fully realized character without falling into usual cliches for the genre. Normally I would've expected Lapis to be selfish and cling to Natori just because...

Good to see that Alexandra left a mark on Diana...
As much as I had enjoyed this series, knowing it got axed and Sou had to rush everything on these last two chapters really soured me on the whole thing.
Dahlia's confession comes out as really forced; the little character development Violet had shown before was thrown out of the window to have...
Good to know I wasn't the only one baffled by Seto and Romm's "explanations". I wonder how Pii-chan will react to Miko's new security detail. I can't imagine it's going to be pretty.
As for the Horse Skull butler, in his previous apparition (chapter 28), he was taking stray ghosts loitering in...
Now that it is certain, we have a switcheroo plot in our hands, I am really curious to see the justification for it. Since everyone is aware of the Tenebrae adopting a commoner orphan, the idea that she could simply replace Lapis without noticing is really dumb, unless everyone would be into the...
