I read the manga for a bit. The part that stuck out to me was that the characters were believable. Yes, it's about empathizing with an immortal being. But it's mostly about change, loss, and adapting to the death of loved ones. Every relationship she makes with humans is something she knows is only temporary, and that they will pass away long before she does, eventually disappearing from everyone's memories except hers, leaving emotional scars only she remembers. Myths are being formed about events, when the reality was something far more trite and innocuous. Technological progress is being made, and the older people have to learn to adapt to the changing landscape. New ideas are being born, but events show that there was a reason why the old ones were formed and why those beliefs were upheld, as doubts and hatreds that started being seen as needlessly hostile with the more idealistic progressive youth are proven right in the face of reality.

It is not a thrilling story, but it's one that I thought had very interesting worldbuilding and realistic characters.
