The firefly marriage is the best straight shoujo ive read ever in my life. The art is beautiful, the characters lovable and endearing, and the plot has the perfect pace and structure.
Not everyone likes a bittersweet ending, but im not one of them. I believe that art can be beautiful and meaningful even when the ending is not a cup full of happiness. At that time in japan they could not help Satoko's health, so her death was already a promise, from the first chapter which begins with an old man reading a letter.
Satoko and Junpei are like ying and yang, a dying flower yearning for the wind to tear her away from the greenhouse and take her places she has never seen, and the weed whose roots are ever growing to the point of shrinking others without mercy. One forced to die too soon, another forced to wander forever, in hopes of paying respects to her memory.
