I was anxious throughout the series because I was worried about the original story being ruined by the typical fuckery and all, and when I least expected it, in the last chapter, BOOM. I guess that in a fantasy world of medieval europe with magic and all, there are some things that never go untouched or untold by the many many authors. At least it seems that this was a one-time thing...for now, I'm kind of worried about the next series though; the more the series advances, the more likely it is to get in a pitfall.
I would have prefered the story to end with the mc's death without including the church, they aren't even that important in this first manga.
I liked this first part of the series, there are some touching moments and well developed scenes, etc.
