The story was paced well (so exciting the whole way through! Really makes you feel the rush of the Industrial Revolution and the open sea) and wrapped up really nicely, but gosh I would have liked another volume of just the Cradle's adventures on the sea 😭 The author has made me fall in love with the characters in so little time and I really will miss them. Would have liked to see Monica and Louis romance, but this isn't that type of shoujo manga, alas.
