nobile's manga / #bittersweet(224)

Quite moving story about moving on after a truly remarkable and loved person has passed away. It's one of those stories that manage to move you even though you are already aware of the end.

Interesting set of fairytale-like stories, it doesn't really feel like any of them truly had a happy ending, "somber" might be a better word to describe them.

All the stories were truly amazing,... They ranged from cute and "sunshiny" to dark and thought-provoking. Definitely became a favourite.

This is such a beautiful story, slow-paced but it leaves you feeling like every moment matters. Inspiring message, a bit heartbreaking on the second half but truly fulfilling ending. Beautiful.

Oh man... Normally I'm quite put off by those "triangles", but... Oh boy... I know that Lucien TOTALLY deserved having his love reciprocated, he was loyal and trustworthy and reliable, even when his affections were being shunned. And I know that Kuwan really, truly betrayed her from the very start, also that thing with Amaranth toooootally does NOT sit well with me, yet I can't seem to want him to stay with her. Even though he wasn't the GOOD suitor, he was more like a Lawful Neutral perhaps? He's still the one I root for. After a couple of years I reread this story and it's funny how this time I rooted for Lucien instead of Kuwan hahah I mean, Kuwan did say that he loved both the Princess and Amaranth, and while the Princess loved both Kuwan and Lucien, Lucien himself only loved the Princess; it would be rather lonely for him if he was cast aside :P

I've reread this story a couple of times, yet I still feel like I'm about to tear up when I'm getting to the end. Seriously, screw that town, he should've stayed with her instead :/

Beautiful short stories with no happy endings.

Main story was pretty interesting, it's a good contender to turn into a longer series for sure... Second story was cute and funny, Sen definitely put a smile on my face at the end :D

Pretty good story, I like that things got settled for the most part. I think I would have liked to see more of her "brother's" struggle between his wife and the girl, the few moments I could see it really got my heart aching for some reason. I kind of felt a bit put off that the last volume consisted only of side stories and oneshots that didn't even have anything to do with the main story (took 1 star out from that).

Even if the art-style wasn't my type, I think it worked well for such a High Fantasy story. I did enjoy the story, even despite the "not as exciting" chapters depicting their lives in the Human World :) I'm really glad that the Great King of Darkness was released from feeding like he had to live in punishment. I liked him a lot. Hope Hanbit found peace for himself as well.
