I loved how balanced this book felt, as there were good amounts of both heartwarming fluff and a darker plot whose undercurrent ran throughout the whole book. Super gorgeous art style and just overall a really beautiful atmosphere created.

So far: I love the art style. The relationship between Shiva and Teacher is adorable.

Edit - Thoughts on the whole series after finishing it:

The best thing about this series is the art and characters. The story and world building are not great imo. There are a lot of cute moments between Teacher and Shiva in the first half of the series, then the messy plot-hole heavy world building takes over, things get depressing, and the ending was very unsatisfying for me. A lot of other reviewers seemed to share my feelings about it. A spoiler-free hint at why the ending was unsatisfying: it’s a bit sad and very vague / abstract. If you like that type of ending, then maybe you won’t mind.
