It's a oneshot, and there's so much I could say that would spoil it, so I'll say the following:

• Have tissues on hand
• Read it a second time to pick up all the hints you missed the first time, like

how only one of the bowls was dirty.

Yeah, it's going to take some time with how blurry your vision is probably going to be, but it's worth it.

Well she's broken and it broke my heart at the end too

The art and the idea great, but the first three quarters of the one shot could've been cut in half.

Although it's only around 50 pages I thought it was good at building up the character relationships and emotional bonds. As a result the ending hit me pretty hard.

One possible plot hole:

How did Nina manage to escape when all her companions were killed? Did the demon king just let her leave?

Other than that I was quite satisfied with the story. I think this can serve as a prequel to a more interesting story, but that plot hole would need to be resolved first.

After reading Frieren at the Funeral, I was looking for manga with a similar tone. This manga, while not easy to digest and sad at some parts, is very heart warming in its own way. The kind of burden that Nina must be living with, I can't even imagine. What a wonderful story.

Yes it is great, probably when you are reading that manga you may say "why am I continuing to it" at least I did that at aprox. page 0-20 because Im a impatient person,

it made me shocked very well, nice plot twist. I did not expect it :D
