@Harjeli It's been a long time so I don't quite remember it that well (hardly at all, really lol).
I don't think it was melodramatic, but the conflict probably wouldn't appeal to me all that much now, considering my experience with manga since then. That being said, as a fantasy story, I think it was pretty nice, and even briefly skimming a chapter now, it's kinda pleasant overall.
The ending was okay too, I believe it was a good ending, but I really don't remember the full context.
Verdict: It isn't a long 12 chapters, so you may as well give it a shot.
