"Magi no Okurimono is an example of how great storytelling will always trump length. You don’t need a 300+ manga to feel engrossed, captivated, invested. All you need are simple characters, whose inherent humanness captivates you alone. They don’t have all the answers to their situation, because no one does. They don’t try to tell you how to live your life, or make the distinction between right or wrong. At the end of the day, all they are doing is trying. Trying to live after what they’ve been through. Trying to reach the one that they love. Trying to attain happiness. While I felt that some parts were underdeveloped and others overdeveloped, the inconsistencies were never enough to really harm this piece, and its execution was so fantastic I often found myself forgetting it had flaws. There is no reason why you shouldn’t read this piece."
