3/5

Definitely not one of the easiest reads to do.
There are a lot of heavy topics in here and in such few pages so much happens.

Despite having a very good overall plot, the narration was a little off sometimes.
I was having trouble connecting some parts while I thought I lost pieces here and there of others.

I don't know if it was intentional making you being part in first person of the character's feelings and inside mess, it ended up just confusing me throughout the whole read.

I definitely need more material to help clarify the holes this first volume left.

Finally found something relatable. Takako Shimura fucking gets it!

Bittersweet, very bitter a bit sweet. Broken people, disfunctional families.
