Man, for a moment there, I was confused in which is the dream and which is the reality...

So if my understanding is correct, that first part is the dream and then when Mokou woke up, it became the a reality... I guess Tewi can rely on her luck and lies when escaping death...

Man, that moment when she said she forgot... Ugh... It hit me...

Well, they were both reality in a way, since the dream was reliving an actual event from Moukou's past. Although the flashes of the outside world don't make a lot of sense to me, since so far as I know Moukou hadn't been there.

I thought this one was a bit depressing.
I mean, how often do all of you guys think about the future? We'll all die someday, and the Earth will eventually be destroyed by some cosmic force like the sun expanding or a meteor.
But Mokou and Kaguya? They'll keep on living. Even after the end of everything, after all of the stars have burnt out, and after the heat death of the universe they will live because of that curse disguised as a potion. Mokou is already over a millennia old, Kaguya is who knows how much longer than that.
I'm sure they'll each have a few centuries of nothing but attempts at suicide. There will come a time when they think that they've lived long enough, too long even, and just give up. Death of the body, the elixir may prevent, but death of the mind and soul cannot be stopped.

I think about future and life often enough and it isn't just "a bit depressing", it's depressing as fuck. I feel the need to preserve everything as it is because no matter how terrible reality is, in the very end the future is bound to be worse.
The thought that I can't stop it from happening kills me inside, but eventually my inner nihilist always ends up squashing these ideas.
And this cycle continues...
...until I die, of course.
Kaguya and Mokou won't have that luxury.
Damn it, I shouldn't have read this.

Tragedy or Angst? Feels pretty dark to me.

Koge puts their situation in such a bittersweet light, but it's anything but sweet. Although he claims that they can keep on living with three people to form a community, what happens when they lose the will to continue living? If anything, the ability to die is much more luxurious than immortality. That's depressing as fuck.

Ok that one panel made things escalate from 0 to 100 real quick...
And yeah I agree with others that this work is anything but sweet, no matter how you look up to good things, they also have all the time in the world that's necessary to chip off their will to live.
