Hmm, that part where she showed him a moment of weakness by mentioning that if even he comes to hate her like the others, she would have nobody left anymore felt kind of sad, yet his actions in response was quite sweet. Like, she probably just can't quite help herself when it comes to dealing with others and he's probably the only one who can see that and, unlike the others, stays with her. Good on him!
And as a result, her drawings went from giving off a feeling of melancholy (perhaps, her loneliness at having been ostracised?) to something brighter. So, really, him being with her brought about a positive impact.
As she puts it at the end, he's like the sun to her, bringing light and happiness into her daily life and I found that really sweet. I suppose it wouldn't really matter to her what other people think, because to her, the only one that matters is him.
Sweet and lovely Vanilla filled release this one was, and I really liked it.
I feel like we have witnessed the debut of a new legend of vanilla that even likes of Homunculus, NaPaTa and Hamao will treat as an equal. I cannot wait to see this artists work in the future. Just so you know, the first panel of page 12 was a true overdose of cuteness.
In all likelihood, Homunculus-sama and others within the Parthenon of Vanilla Hentai Artists took one look and declared unanimously: "We have little to teach you, Ikerazi-san ... assume your place in our company!"
"And There Was Much Rejoicing (at least among the lovers of Vanilla) ..... YAY!"
