Review:
The Water Dragon God is dying, because of his relationship with
Asahi, and he has the option of eating her to save himself. He's
formed too many human emotions, too much of an attachment, though, to
be willing to do that.
This series wraps up in a way that I definitely didn't expect. Most
stories will discover a crazy solution at the last second, like he'd
become human with her or something. That's not what happens here.
Instead, we get to see the series all over again, only from the Water
Dragon God's perspective, with new insight for how things happened
and leading to this new ending.
I actually really appreciate how this worked out. And it definitely
makes me want to re-read the series with these new realizations.
I feel a little bad for how Subaru fell so far in the background,
given how much I loved him in the beginning. On the other side, I'm
really happy with where Asahi is at the end of the series, and I'm
glad we get to see her family again.
I'm really happy with how this series wraps up. It's a pleasant
surprise that leaves me very pleased.
