This was really lovely and sweet! I adored the art style so much, and I wish it had been longer because I'm already ready for more. I didn't realize it was an adaptation of a light novel series, but now I want to look into the source material because I could see this being the type of story I would really enjoy reading the original version of! It reminded me of so many JRPG games I've played over the years and that's a feeling that I wish more books gave me. ♥
