It’s a continuing narration, steadily moving toward the climax. I’m a bit worried now because the ending is only one episode away. Not because I’m worried it might turn out bad, but because I like the story so much, and I’m afraid the ending might give me the same feeling I had after watching Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop. They both had beautiful endings, but they also left you with this feeling that you wished you could give all of them a fairytale ending.
