The novel itself is only 22 chapters, and we are currently halfway through chapter 3 of the novel. But if you were expecting a lighter redemption story, where Lila teaches Ril how to forgive humans...the lightness never comes. ╥﹏╥
I'm warning you now, we have maybe one more chapter left in the manga of "okay"-ness, before we see how alchemists are treated by normal people. There's a reason they're a protected species in their country. Lila gets attacked by humans, rescued by Ril, and then gives herself up as a human sacrifice in an attempt to appease the demons, and she almost dies.
Seriously, the novel gets so dark, I'm still crying. No one dies, but Lila comes VERY CLOSE; she's basically a walking skeleton by the end, except without the walking (Ril has to carry her everywhere). ╥﹏╥
But they're together in the end, so that's nice, right? Shame on me for expecting a sweet love story from a novel calling itself a LOVE SONG. （/TДT)/
