 I love the addition of Ruth as a character. Super sweet and that relationship with Chise is lovely. It’s good seeing her grow her family and find people that care about her. Elias and Chise have a slow burn relationship that I’m really loving. They don’t understand their feelings and so it’s always awkward and cute to watch them interact. 

“I’m sorry I can’t follow you right now. Wait for me …
Until my time ends with hers.”

I don't think this manga is for me. I started reading it cause it seemed kind of cottage core and cozy but I think my biggest misgiving concerns the main character's relationship with those around her and about herself. Idk it's just not giving me what I want it to and so I think this is where I stop.
