This scene was awesome (WARNING, contains spoiler):

Especially with the detective appearing right behind the abusive ex.
The story seemed truncated. There was no resolution of the spirit attacking Mahiru and Kataragi, nor of the origin tale where the magician was killed protecting the spirit. And beyond the first chapter, there was no development of the side characters and certainly no exploration of what it means for a "normal" to be in a relationship with a shapeshifter. It makes me wonder if the mangaka had to end the story early for whatever reason.
*Giggle.*
