The last time I saw this was when there were only a few chapters (black witches meeting) so I was pleasantly surprised that there were a lot of chapters.
It's sadder than I expected it to be, but the lighthearted moments and sparks of hope and joy (and occasional silliness) make it so it's not just sadness or tragedy. When coming across these things I futiley try to think of how things could have been different, what might be changed of fixed, what can be helped... but of course, their story has followed its written path, the thread is spun and the die is cast. But even amidst a thorny path, as repeated by several characters, they still managed to find their own happiness, and like a fairytale, they reunited in a field of flowers, at peace and in contentment.
The only thing is that Luna is the one left to bear the pain, as someone who holds onto the memories even if everyone else forgets or disappears. I truly do hope that her future can be happier and that the world will someday be a kinder place towards her and Lis. On that note, I'm grateful about the fact that Lis didn't completely forget things, including his love, because it's also such an important part of him.
I can't help but feel nervous about the future thanks to the overwhelming force of the white witches and the power of the queen, not to mention the fact that Lis has to grow well as a magician and overcome his supposed destiny.... While I wish for happiness for Luna and the gang, considering that there were already a lot of deaths and a lot of sorrow, hope feels both sweet and cruel.
But of course, in the end, I am a spectator, and in this story it feels like one can only grasp as much happiness as they can, and that fate is generally unkind to our heroes. (Then again, Gakuen Alice was also like that... That's why I awaited the ending first before reading it after avoiding the story for a while, so I can spoil myself before getting more invested and attached. ) Not to mention, considering how things have gone, their "happiness" can be subjective. It might be happy to them but sad to me. Or it'll be bittersweet happiness after another bittersweet happiness.
