OnlyMes's manga / #Tragedy(3)

As always, beautiful art and wonderful, unique story. I honestly didn't see the ending coming, but it was a fitting end for the princess, I believe. I've noticed that Murasakino likes to leave endings up in the air for most of their one-shots, but this one was pretty cut dry. As much as I wanted to give this a higher rating, I wanted to be fair and not rate it off of how much I love this author and more on what the story gives me. In the end, it was still a great story, just lacking in context here and there and the typical feeling I get when reading their works, I just didn't get from this one. For anyone wanting to read it though, you won't regret it nonetheless.

Wow wow wow. I knew the author of these stories could get a little dark, but I greatly overestimate the tragedy tag. Even though, my God I still enjoyed reading through it. The chapter with Miki and her childhood crush was so amazing, that plot twist at the end had me speechless, I had to go back to reread the entire chapter over again just to make sure I wasn't confused. I got literal chicken skin when I made it to the end of that chapter and realized what actually was happening. Like I've always said when rating these kinds of works, this author does a PHENOMENAL job telling such thrilling and interesting stories with just a one-shot. The sheer amount of raw emotions I was experiencing reading through some of these stories is unmatched, and the fact that the author can give me that with just 15 to 20 pages of art to tell such a breathtaking story is incredible. Anyone who can rate these stories anything less than 5 stars likely just underestimated the tragedy tag because, like myself, you wouldn't think art this cute and innocent looking would hold darker meanings. But for the people who enjoy that kind of genre and take the tags to heart, I can't see them rating this anything but 5 stars.

A bit difficult to understand with the first read through, but still a beautiful story. Longing for someone so much that, instead of wishing for that person to love you in return, you wish to be a version that person will love, even if it ends up hurting you. This was a beautiful portrayal of true, genuine love, but not all love has happy endings I'm afraid. I can't fathom loving someone so much that I'm willing to change myself, give myself away, for a chance to be recognized. The ending had me only slightly confused, I get the symbolism, I just didn't understand why the nurse ended up the same way as the student. Was that also her wish, even though she never understood the feeling of love even until the very end? This melancholic story left me feeling empty. Not in a bad way, not in the slightest, I just hoped for a more sweeter ending- which I know is a lot to ask for coming from this author. This story wasn't bad at all, I felt a wave of sadness near the end, but the story was so magnificently told that a sad ending didn't make me regret reading it. Beautiful storytelling, beautiful character traits, beautiful artwork. Another fantastic piece from this author.
