This is my absolute favorite flavor of enemies-to-lovers : enemies-to-enemies AND lovers. Beautiful art, great prose, amazing story. I felt so much for both of the leads !
Kagamin feels textually like a tragic heroine. She's an outsider both in birth and in attitude, she rises through the power system through her desperate hard work, and well, there's the ending. She is so easy to empathize with and so well written.
But I actually like Swallow more. We see so much of Kagamitsuki's interiority and so very little of hers, but what we do get is enough to piece together a horrific vision of profound loss. The kind of loss that can only be felt by someone who theoretically has it all but who truly has nothing. The way she lashes onto Kagamin as her lifeline and savior speaks to my heart in the way only the best fictional toxic dependencies can.
Thank you for sharing such a splendid work of art with us Lunran !!!
