I don't know what the main focus of the story was. And there wasn't much background story given to the girl-turned-witch except for the statement of not visiting her parents for decades and that she had an alleged male lover. I liked it though, but it felt too much of an epilogue than an actual one shot. It's more like a preview to the world and the characters.
it's good, I like the idea of putting some historical fact about medieval Europe because I love history setting aside of being a graduate of social studies major. ehehe... Witch hunting and persecution... what a dark event between religious wars and competency.
Beautiful story. Beautiful artwork. Years late to the discussion but I'd err on the side that the story writer, Huyou Satoyoshi, was deliberate in their word choice. Their other works definitely reflect this.
