He may be yandere but damn, I like how there was weight and substance to the main characters.
Funnily enough, I didn’t sense betrayal, which is usually expected in such a scenario. Disgust, anger, sure, but not betrayal. The guilt and the realization of both parties that the master will eventually become something that is not him is actually fascinating to see that they’re in the same wavelength.
I’m not sure if the feeling was mutual, however, there was acknowledgment, care, and willingness to accompany the other. What tugged at me more is that last panel: the master is still as is but the disciple has become older. Remembering that the master’s decaying parts has to be constantly changed, the disciple’s dedication just tugs at me.
Kind of reminds me of that danmei (Transmigrating into a mob character to rehabilitate the villain, I think is the title) wherein one party meticulously tends to the other’s corpse with the hope that they’ll come back. Heck, they’d do it even if it’s a corpse.
The art is gorgeous. Is there more to this story? It’s actually good to end it there in my opinion but who knows if there are more chapters or side stories
