This edition includes a bonus epilogue scene with the true ending of The Swordless Knight, re-worked scenes in multiple episodes with new and changed dialogue, and brand new art and animations throughout. The complete series is fully subtitled. This series is a work of art made with human hands and voices by myself and 38 collaborators, with a zero AI-generated content policy.

But then as I thought deeper, in the end, when we're ready to settle down, isn't that the relationship we all strive and hope for? A secure, comfortable place we could unapologetically be ourselves without the fear of being judged, a place of understanding, acceptance and continuing growth. And I actually really liked how Yuki helped Tohru in her studies and can be able to make her think more deeply (to not be too gullible) about various things. A certain aspect in which I think Tohru lacks. And Tohru in turn untangled Yuki's deeply knotted dark thoughts and emotions which helped him to get out of his shell and eventually come to terms and shake hands with his fears and insecurities. I was really rooting for them, but I think maybe if they met at a later time, or if the story progressed longer they could have better sorted out their feelings and eventually would have ended up together? I don't know haha I just think their personalities really fit together almost perfectly, they're very complementary. But then again, that's just my personal opinion and preference.

P.S. Or maybe I'm just not a fan of Kyo's character for Tohru, his hot headedness and his outward display of hate/irritation 😅. But maybe Kyo eventually changed after he let go of his guilt and insecurities? Yuki just felt more in control and though a bit self-destructive, always choose to sort his feelings out within himself before acting on things. Both of them have gone through a lot and I just personally love how Yuki silently handled his inner problems with the help of Tohru.

Edit: It's also just a big mystery to me how Yuki never was able to openly talk about how he was the blue-hat kid who helped Tohru find her way back home. I always thought that was one of the things he kept a lid on but would eventually be revealed by him in the end but he never got to do so. Was is not relevant anymore or did he think it would still have some kind of bearing so he chose not to personally tell it anymore?

Be careful of the bonds we make and the bonds we choose to keep 💚
