This was a fun read. I liked the overall concept, and the artwork is very strong. There's even a full-colour page, and it's beautifully illustrated. The character dynamics feel fun, and you get a good enough sense of their personalities considering how short the manga is. The main character reflects on a very emotional journey and even a bit of philosophical exploration.
It's hard to say why it's so good without spoiling it, so I'll just say that the plot is probably the strongest point.
The only downside I can think of is the transitions in the timeline. The story's structure goes: start of the journey back
...
home -> flashback to when they were on their way to defeat the demon king -> back to the journey home. I was initially confused after the first transition, since I didn't realise it was a flashback. I'm not really sure if it's because the story/panels were unclear, or if it's because I just didn't pick up on the clues fast enough.
Either way, it's a really good read. As a one-shot, it's quite short, so I'd highly recommend it to anyone who has a few minutes to spare.
