Very interested to see where this goes. I think depressing stories with a flicker of hope for a better future are very appealing. You kinda need to experience both the good and the bad to make either hit hard in fiction.
Surely the emergence of the suicidal yuri microgenre -at least one new series every year- is just the result of the continued proliferation of the genre, and is not a portent of things to come
the art is gorgeous and i love that the main character isn't femme, is about to hit 30 and looks apropriately depressed. can't wait to see how the story develops.
