I think this story warrants the tragedy tag. Given that the "twist" is the form the tragedy takes and not a sudden and unexpected "event", I don't think tagging it would spoil the effects of the tragedy.
Thoughts anyone?

It's tricky given the tragedy is a twist that comes into play a couple chapters in, which is usually a sign that mods/admins won't tag it as tragedy (they generally don't if it gives away spoilers about the series), but since it is only 5 chapters into a series with 22 chapters, that might be early enough that they make an exception, especially since a huge amount of the story revolves around it.

Edit: Also, even on the early chapters there's a lot of ominous warnings. "As a result [of becoming a bride], I lost everything. In exchange, I gained one thing, only to lose everything again."

When I first saw this series, I thought it was going to be nice fluff from the title but my god this is a tragedy. I really like how torn the vampires are since they need to feed on humans but that just kills them and they can do nothing about it. It makes me feel so sad so I am really curious how this is going to end.

My personal hesitancy to tag it as a tragedy is based on spoiling the event. As such, I'll spoiler tag my reasoning.

Whether or not the tragedy is expected doesn't matter, it's that the story sets up two possibilities early on: the brides will die or a cure will be found and the brides will live. Marking it as a tragedy makes the ending clear to any reader that the brides will (essentially) die. Much of the tension of the story relies on the reader believing either outcome is possible, but a tag will make it clear which route the story takes.

That being said, no doubt it's a tragedy and probably even warrants the depressing af tag on a number of chapters

Well that was fucked! huh!

This manga is suffering.

I've long thought sites like this should carry an alternate set of spoiler tags that aren't inherently visible to casual users but could be used to filter out content like we already have in the blacklisted tags preferences. Would allow people to avoid stories that lead towards difficult situations they aren't comfortable with without necessarily marking the story itself in a way that spoils the premise for everyone else.

Edit: Just realized I'm comment #666. Mwahahaha

well. shit.

this doesn't look good

Hello darkness my old friend~~ ;.;

This series is so masterfully designed to alternate frantic, almost desperate happiness with gut-wrenching despair.

Nearly every chapter brings me to tears, especially these later ones.

Um, I think we’re due for some explanations on those flashbacks(?). I wonder if in some past life they were also brides but the roles were reversed

Oh, I forgot that this site doesn't have chapters 13 - 16. They're on MangaDex and somewhat explain the flashbacks.

I had seen a lot yuri marriage but this is new, Occidental dress x Nipon Ouffit.
Nice, specially the doggy watching the scene

What THE ACTUAL FCK. I can't be the only one crying while reading this chapter. I want them to overcome the curse together. Please let them be happy

Anyway, I just have a random thought while Sara calls her senpai so many times. As a fate fan, I just imagined this could be Mash and Gudako, with Mashu only have a little time to live as a homonculus. It's just sad :(

ahaha what :D

Wth :'(((
Nooo please noo

pepsi?

as i press the next chapter it gets harder to read

So so beautiful. What a sweet sweet story and beautiful artwork! This work gives me warm fuzzy feelings. I look forward to every chapter. Thank you so much for this. Takano Saku is a wonderful storyteller and artist.

ch 21 reminds me of Irua's and then to you and that shit hurts af.

I hate seeing one lesbian suffering, they should suffer and smile together. If ever she'll get reincarnated again, do you think they will be able to stop the curse or this will become a repetitive cycle for both of them?

Oh shit we ramped up FAST. I was kinda hoping SOMETHING would change, but no. Very sad ending.

Whoofa.

I'm guessing there's one more chapter, since there's one last item on Sara's list.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again.

Edit: This chapter combined with The Doors lyrics made me cry.

I hate this ending

It's a rough ending on the heart; there's no sidestepping that.

Honestly, I don't know why Sara expects Iris to take another bride, even as Sara's last request. Iris has been tortured by what she has done to Sara; Iris just doesn't have the right mentality to be a vampire. Shion (pre-Aoi) did. "I get to have lots of sex with a beautiful girl and then move on". That level of detachment is the only way to survive.

Iris could never do that knowingly, and she didn't even take Sara as her bride knowingly.

Yep, there is one more chapter and then an "Extra" which serves as an epilogue.

Honestly considering two chapters ago I really do feel like the only reason Iris is still alive is she hasn’t figured out HOW to commit suicide. It certainly isn’t for lack of trying…

I really wished she would've also gone in a coma and maybe they don't tell us if it works out in the end. Would've been less painful.

If the thing that is in the pocket isn't her, I will be sad

You'd think even at the end when they were married she'd call her by her name. But no, still called her senpai.
