It cannot be overstated: Pasteltel's work brings out the best in both Sanae and Aya, and is nothing short of fantastic. Though... the ambiguity in that last sentence worries me, so I hope that the artist will steer these two towards a sweet, wonderfully happy ending.
I really begin to like pasteltel's work. Sweet as Junda, and very well drawn. In one word: "Perfect".
Aya-san!you gave me a misanga,I did indeed.How long is "always"?"Always" is "always".Does that mean......until the end of your lifespan?Mmm.What?Well,I'm a goddess!But technically, you're human, aren't you?Hmph!One day I will attain deification and become a real goddess!No, er, nevermind that.What would you doif you couldn't become one?I can!That's the whole point of the misanga.Have some faith in me....felt quite as close to me before as it does now.It frightens me, a lot.*sneeze*How can you be so confident?No reason,I just feel like, in this world, I can do anything.Oh?But if you're over-confident, you'll only get hurt.Why are you being so negative!!?Ayaya!?*splash**splash**squeeze*You have to believe in me!Aya...If I can't become a goddess,trust me, I'm going to blame you.I want to be with you, Aya-san!This is not open for debate!...A one-man decision, eh?Don't make the mistake of thinking I'd let you leave me even if you said you wanted to!If she can't become a goddess,would she still accept me?...It's a promise.Death has never...It's hard to just keep believing...Oh...Aya-san!What is it?I want to change my clothes, so won't you please let go of my hand?*shiver*I'm cold!No.I don't feel like letting go right now.Whaaat?I'll catch a cold if I stay like this!You should be OK too, since you're a goddess, right?Uwah!Aya-san, you're mean.I hope the misanga string snaps soon.Is that what the misanga is for?Earlier, Sanae,saying"I wish we'll always be together."Is becoming a goddess really that easy?I'll do my best!It's not my fault if you regret it later.Ayaaa...I never even thought about that.Aya-san, you just wait.I'm a youkai, so I'm fine.
