Congratulations for creating a character so complex, thought-out, and intricate that an audience member was able to connect with them on such a level that they grew a serious emotional attachment to them. For various reasons, Yukitsuki really stood out as a character to me, simply due to the sheer complexity of her personality.
That aside, whoever wrote this was a genius. The plot hits the ground running and the stakes grow really high really fast. I was really touched by all the endings, especially Yukitsuki’s first ending; even though it’s been a year since I first read this story, the emotion is still there for me. Even though I didn’t like Kyoichi as much as Yukiha (though maybe I was just jealous of him?) I still found myself rooting for him, cheering when he reached his goals.
My favorite quote was Kazuha’s “Your public displays of affection are starting to affect me!”… or maybe Kyoichi’s description of Tsukasa, calling him an arsonist who watches people try to put out the fires he starts.
There were a few typos/translation errors (notably, a couple accidentally misspelled names and a couple instances of “Your welcome!”) but otherwise no problems.
Now for the spoilery part…
That one scene, that one scene that gave Yukitsuki the closure she needed… it was… amazing. I’d almost call it the climax of the entire story; it was just beautiful.
Excellent job overall. I’m hoping for more of these, but if not, this was a stunning way to end the series.
