This is such a well crafted psychological manga, the main character's dip into insanity is so well done. It shows a perfect representation of addiction, if you replace Yuri with a drug you can get a clear image of someone falling into drug addiction.
If you think about the demon as her "dealer" then her time with Yuri as her young self is her "drug". The demon gives her a trial with the "drug". She sees why it's nice but is an adult, and can still function without it. But an unlucky circumstance makes her go back to the demon and ask for her "drug" again. Then she uses it a bit too much and fucks up one part of her life, which then fucks up another and then another whicb makes her even more dependent on her addiction and an inability to return to her previous life.
The ending is where she can't her drug addiction anymore, then "overdoses" by kidnapping and possibly committing murder-suicide.
This is all wrapped in a story with a romance theme, but the theme of addiction is the biggest takeaway here. It's almost heavyhanded with the drug addiction teacher's meeting which I thought was a bit too on the nose, but the rest of it was pretty sleek and well crafted. It makes me wonder if the author had gone through an addiction themselves.
idk if anyone is gonna read all that but dang what a good manga, this would be an excellent movie.
