great end for a second there i was thinking it was gonna be a bad end a very bitter sweet end like years was gonna pass and they'd meet in japan years after in the spring but thank god that didnt happen cause man id been super pissed and sad

but all in all it was a good read only other thing i would have wanted was like a few more chapters with them traveling and just being together especially with all the bs they had to go through because of the bs of people smh

but yeah this was really nice a nice little yuri series

This is what they call a fait accompli. By announcing the whole truth in front of the entire congregation, not only will there be no wedding, everyone will know why, and no one will consider her fit for marriage ever again. There are many ways Edward or her parents could have tried to prevent this from happening - but now that it's done, the repercussions are irrevocable. She is finished in high society. The worst case scenario she was trying so desperately to avoid has come to pass. And the world keeps spinning. Multiply that by a thousand and that's how a society changes. Many, many people doing the previously unthinkable until it becomes thinkable.

But really, couldn't it all have been solved so much sooner if Alice had confided in Jean from the start? In the end it seemed it wasn't Alice realizing that being true to herself and her love for Hanako was more important than anything in the world that tipped the scales. It was her realizing that the only people she would truly hurt by blowing the whole thing up in a spectacular fashion were Edward, who was a dick anyway, and her parents, who had it coming. Maybe it was sisterly envy all along?

"What do you mean, you're a suffragette now? You're trying to out-feminist your big sister?! Anything you can do I can do better! Hold my bouquet, I'm going in!"

In my headcanon Edward tried to chase her, tripped and bit his tonge completely off. He then bled out slowly on the floor for 15 minutes before he died. No one went to his funeral except his brother who dies in a carriage accident on the way back to his home and somehow Susanne got all his money.

I weirdly found this just now even if it was scanlated 5+ years ago and I really liked it

I liked the ending too, and the whole premise of the chapters before the last one point the readers to really believe that they'll be separated...only to subvert everything in the last few pages, a big middle finger to Edward (who is not only an asshole but someone that who'll never see "the sun", if he was ready to marry someone that knew wasn't in love with him one bit) and her family (who wanted to preserve appearances even if it meant to sacrifice her happiness).
Surely, both were common things at that time, it's not a surprise...but that doesn't change the fact that everything sucked, if that's how they treated people just for convenience.

Maybe it's just me, but considering the setting (both bookworms + the initial request to kill her) instead of coming out at the wedding I thought through almost the whole read that a way to escape would have been inscenating a fake death (you know, a "Romeo and Juliet" like situation, but planned better 😬) to let the two elope quietly

The ending felt so rush but I'm glad it's a happy ending, had me through a rollercoaster of emotions. Not gonna lie the ending was kinda weird and funny. But overall the beginning and during the story was really good for me, but the ending really seemed like a comedy skit😭😭
