2.5 I think?
I really liked the descriptions of the innkeeper at the beginning and the ending is so fun to me....conceptually this is pretty interesting too I like the concept of people who we see randomly and stay in our minds, i kind of relate in some ways to Otsu and some of the ideas he mentioned. I would be interested to read more stories from kunikida and see how we go because I liked parts of this a lot.
