I only now noticed people saying that the original comic gets dark at some point, and I wanted to ask if someone could please maybe spoil that part for me a little? Just how "dark" does it get? Am I going to regret it? I stumbled upon the author's Twitter some time ago, coincidentally saw some beautiful art of those two and seeing it being serialized now makes me so happy. These three chapters were a blessing, but now I'm really worried if I should get invested in it, because I am NOT ready for another tragic ending.
These are major spoilers from the original webcomic. I won't give full context but if you're worried about the tone of the story, I think it's worth warning people how dark it might get.
If you don't want to spoil the manga for yourself I'd advise you not to read it.
Lots of civilians die in fairly bloody monster attacks. One of the protagonists loses her legs in an attack and can only walk with the help of enchanted armor. Suicide is heavily contemplated and even attempted.
The author plans to make the serialized manga a revised version of the original and I don't doubt many of the same events will happen. But the webcomic ended on an uplifting note. In the first draft of the serialized manga, it was actually going to continue from that ending and cover the events of the webcomic in flashback. And they have drawn art of the two going on lighthearted adventures after the events of the original story.
I don't think this will be a tragedy even if it has tragic elements. It's been described by the author as fantasy yuri about two noble ladies forced into cruel circumstances and overcoming them through blood and dirt, never allowing the other to die.
