This manages to strike an interesting balance between being lovely and being horrible and unfair all at the same time. Sorrowfully sweet is the tune, here, and it hits the chords perfectly and heart-rendingly.
@migh:
As an aside, this is not necessarily the old-Greek sense of a "tragedy"—it is entirely possible that the tragedy tag refers to the events that take place in the first chapter (and are expounded upon thereafter). Standing convention allows for a tragedy tag to refer to events in the beginning of a work if they are bleak enough (see, for a clear and typical example of this, Kijmetsu no Yaiba, which has had a tragedy tag from the beginning on account of events in the first chapter).
Anyway, honestly I have no idea how this ends, but I'll be a little surprised given the tone so far if it ends in abject tragedy (again).
