Though I must admit that the end had me lost a bit. It certainly is very poetic, but also, at least to me, is a bit too vague and unclear.
At least as unique as the story, the art style of Nagabe, despite differing in almost every regard from the traditional manga, or maybe because of that, has become one of my favourites of all mangaka I've read works of. Despite the sometimes quite minimal detail, it makes the world of the story feel real to an extend I've rarely seen in any form of drawn media.
Totsukuni no Shoujo was in many ways not what I had expected from it, but in the end, I greatly enjoyed it. I think it's a manga anyone should at least give a chance, just to experience it's uniqueness.
