I was deeply disappointed when Disney threw away a golden opportunity for a “Blind Samurai: Zatoichi” homage by KILLING him to bring him back, instead of blinding and separating them for several years. Him becoming not just a blind beggar but a Daredevil-like warrior searching for her, THAT is what I wanted to see!
So, are you expecting the story to end with the main characters dying… or just the cosplay versions of the characters on the chapter title page dying, perhaps on a subsequent chapter title page?

I caught a more Romiette and Julio flavo{u}r from it.

You seem to have missed the (admittedly obscure) Firesign Theater reference.
I googled Firesign Theater and STILL missed the reference.
