No seriously, I've called a few other comics like Orphan Alichu and Tormenting Baby Reimu depressing, but I never imagined I'd actually tear up reading a yukkuri comic. *sniff* And I love this artist's drawing style too. I won't be forgetting this for a long while.
Da I got it the last panels are yukkuri heaven (the place where all the nice yukkuri go after they die) The Nice mother Reimu had 4 kids from the rapeist Alice thus making her think all Alices are like that however she had a blessing with 3 non rapeist Alices and a nicehead Reimu but with her being raped she started to be a shithead by careing only about the Reimu so basically the Alices had to survive on there own, the "mother" Reimu went to find food leting the Alices starve so the koReimu let the Alices have the rest of the stalk (after eating her part)and do rub-rub afterward, after the "mother" Reimu got back and seeing the Alices her way though the Alice were trying to rape her Reimu so she killed *I think* two Alices and she was about to kill the other one until she got caught and she got the death penalty and it started to rain (By magic) *also don't know why the Alice went back to see the "mother" that killed her sister, probably (and unlikely) she knew her father was a rapeist and she felt bad for her because it wasn't her fault that she sees Alices that way) So the "mother" had accepted that the alice was her baby and she relied that the other Alices were doing rub-rub with Reimu not trying to rape her thus bringing her from shithead to nicehead allowing her to go to Yukkuri Heaven with the Alices. Then they had a happy end forevermore.
Artists should draw more yukkuri comics like this. I read some that are about abusing yukkuri and frankly put, they made me sick to the core. I can't stand the sight of abuse and I seriously wonder just how sick the authors are for drawing something like that. This one, however, is different. This one is pretty touching, despite the abuses in the beginning.
I really didn't think Reimu is a nicehead, let alone she could go to the Yukkuri Heaven. She behaved like a real Deibu, yeah sure she loved her child koReimu, but almost all of the Deibus also love the children looks like them, and she acted too severe and scum-like toward the Alices. Yeah they were the result of Alice the rapist, but she don't have any rights to do that to her child, especially killed 2 of them without any remorse. Even after those drama and after her death, she still don't feel anything wrong with her act, she even didn't think about the children she had killed. The Heaven part naybe just an imagination from Alice though.
I think only KoAlice went to “Yukkuri heaven” for that reason, which is pretty sad if you think about it. She seemed to really love her mom despite everything, hopefully she reunites with her sisters at the end.

But since the yukkuri lore varies depending on the writer, treating them with kindness could also have been a mistake. In some works, certain types are irredeemable shitheads regardless of how they're treated, while in others (such as this one) those impulses are not all-consuming and can be outgrown. Try having a drinking game about how many stories you've seen here where people call for the death of a wasa Reimu the moment she shows up before she even does anything; unless you're an oni, you will destroy your liver irreparably.
If this were a story where mama Reimu is kind, but the alices try to hide their 'true' nature so that they're taken care of, then people would be adding the 'too dumb to live' and 'dumbass' tags to mama Reimu for treating the ko-alices with kindness despite being shown first-hand that they're always evil after she was raped.
Yukkuri may be simplistic creatures that function by magic instead of logic, but doing the right thing even in their position still can be complicated. Remember, they're extremely frail and weak, and anything they do might result in death (or even worse, being captured by a human) to themselves and their families. We can only say that they should have 'just' done this or that to stay safe because we have not only higher intelligence but the power of hindsight.
