This is a wonderful, wonderful manga. I would compare it, even, to Qualia the Purple. The science-fictional/fantasy element is integral but trumped by the relationship. The author made it clear that the strong, strong will and desire of the two protagonists was key to their power (one to stop time, the other to resist stopped time). So as Moriya lost her pain and yearning, she gradually lost her time-stopping power. Murakami however wasnt in touch with her true yearnings so her desire to stay with Moriya and undo the time-stopping for her stayed as strong as ever, thank goodness. Or she'd have been slowed, but not stopped, say. One of the great yuri series, I say. It's wonderful to see two fully realized, rather broken characters heal each other.
By the way I didnt know where it was up other than Dynasty. A long time ago I looked and couldn't even find Japanese raws, which I could read. I found a chapter ahead in Chinese and translated that! Even though I can only read Japanese (I do speak a little Chinese). That's how taken I was with this series. The 2 volume tankobon from Honto will cost me about $12 with shipping, so that's not bad.
