i can’t stop looking at the page spread though i just think it’s so well done

yes! especially because the mom blood is like a flower that covers the two girls, I assume to represent that Yuina finally becomes Marika's flower

Marika's tits!

Are all Marikas obsessed with flowers (and edgelords in the making)?

Those saying this is a happy ending, how serious are y'all? I mean, when I look at Yuina's face on the last page, I see nothing but terror, as it dawns on her that she's just traded one abuser for another, one with no qualms about killing.

Nah, Yuina's feeling a rush of just about every emotion at once I think.

Marika isn't an abuser. While she's obviously not all right in the head, she's never anything but gentle with Yuina, and the only person she hurts absolutely deserved it. It's a happy ending because Yuina needed someone like her.

... And then they got arrested.

Nah its the same “me next” when people see a villain doing something bad, etc.
But yes I agree with you in the abuser part, for me saying “she did it for love” “for the sake of Yuina” or something among those lines it’s boring and takes away the dynamic at play (which is the part I like)
Marika is not a “physical abuser” but she did that to possess Yuina and turn her into a flower, if you take into account Marika’s speak about why she likes flowers then all adds. That is the hot and amazing part of this one-shot for me.

Maybe abuser is too strong of a word but abuse takes different forms so yeah I guess it fits.

Honestly kinda goofy ending, where Yuma mind breaks. I’m okay with the murder, I just thought her reaction was offbeat

HOLY HECK
I really like this oneshot, ngl
Yesss, Marika, save your gf hahah
"Girlfriend killing loved one's abuser" is one of the Tropes I really really like in fiction.
The art is also so beautiful ~ My favorite panel is Marika with all the flower petals around her

Also, about the person saying that Marika did all of this to possess Yuina, just like a flower, that is SO RIGHT and so true, that's definitely what's happening. And it becomes really obvious at the end, where She's drawing her and calling her beautiful just like a flower
