Well, certainly an interesting conclusion to the story; but, also, unnecessarily complicated.
Like, cool? Yu is actually her sister, and it wasn't Yu who died. But, why? It's understandable that she let her sister die, feeling vengeful. But, she had no real reason to switch identities, beyond "the emotional crybaby Yu died that day, so i became my apathetic sister." It's just unnecessary & irrational.
Well, anyway, the author's comments at the end there is rather interesting and intriguing. He's right, if you think about it, this story is no different from typical fantasy scenarios in equation, but with the variables changed to something more real or relatable: its result comes out very different. Bravo on that. :clap:
Artist did a good job drawing, too.

What a stupid and confusing ending. I can't be the only one who got pissed off by the "Oh! It's actually not kamiyama lol!". After rereading I found out that it wasn't as hard to figure out it wasn't Kamiyama (the "Don't be so harsh on him" part or whatever), but that wasn't my problem with the ending, it was that the mangaka made Kamiyama and the other guy have the SAME hair, the SAME height AND the SAME body type, what felt like the mangaka's artistic limitation was actually intentional for you to THINK it was Kamiyama, which at least for me, is COMPLETLY stupid. Really terrible execution of a rather cool idea, this wouldn't have happened if the mangaka had just made his whole face a shadow, and not just hid his eyes, even thinking about it now I'm still pissed about that terrible execution.


Other than that, the Manga's fine, artstyle is good, paneling is fine, the mysteries are a bit shallow but the characters are interesting. It would've been better if it wasn't for that awful ending, the mystery was cool but the execution was soooooo terrible.
