Wow, what a finale! This story wraps up in such an explosive and emotionally charged way that it really feels like the culmination of everything you’ve been building toward. From the chaos and carnage of Chapter 5 to the deeply heartfelt closure in Chapter 6, you managed to balance intensity and raw emotion in a way that felt cinematic.
I really loved how you wrote the Four Evil Kami. Each one had such a distinct personality. Harada’s gluttonous cruelty, Arashi’s eerie playfulness, Boroshi’s twisted greed, and Kyashi’s dominating malice. You gave them vivid, horrifying presence that made their eventual defeat satisfying on a mythic level. The way you described the massacre scenes was chilling but very effective, it truly painted the sense of danger and despair that Kikyo had to face.
Speaking of Kikyo, her growth from a hesitant graduate student into a divine warrior princess was fantastic to see come full circle here. I liked how you didn’t shy away from showing her fear or doubt, but also how she chose to act bravely despite it. That makes her victory over the Kami feel earned. And her final moment with Asuka? That was beautiful. Their relationship has been such a warm emotional core throughout the story, and you gave it a poignant and loving sendoff. The “I love you” flicker at the end was a perfect touch…. meaningful and heartfelt.
Another thing you did really well was the pacing of the last chapter. After the carnage of Chapter 5, the quick, focused fights in Chapter 6 made Kikyo feel competent and empowered, almost mythic herself. And returning her to the museum at the end brought everything full circle, it gave the story a sense of closure while leaving that little spark of wonder intact.
If I were to offer one suggestion, it’d be that some of the action scenes (especially in Chapter 5) could benefit from a few moments of quiet tension between the chaos, just to let the reader breathe and feel the gravity of what’s happening. But overall, you did a great job balancing the epic scale of the conflict with the personal, emotional story at its heart.
This was such a fun, creative ride from start to finish…. full of emotion, imagination, and heart. You’ve got a real talent for blending magical action and heartfelt connection, and it shows beautifully here.
