The ending is a nah for me. The "i want to stay human but we remain lovers" is so cliche i could sniff it from miles away. But if author wanted to finish in 190 chapters, that probably was the only decent ending possible. These stories never follow the couple over time. It is like mangas that end with couples marrying in a happily ever after fashion but we all know marriage is just the beginning of angst and heartbreak. Death in a relationship is a much more interesting and poetic theme to explore, specially in vampire genre, but obviously no one gives it a shot because it is hard and too realistically dark for teen audience. In the end, Olgami also chose the easier path of cliche.

Umm, this was weird. Dropping it at ch. 30. Maybe I'll pick it up later.
