Fue una lectura expeditiva por mi parte, poco conozco de literatura japonesa. Me encanto con la ligereza que logra enfrazcar tanto desarrollo en menos de 200 páginas, en ningun momento parece que te esta tirando la información por la cabeza. Me choco con la crueldad en la que se tratan ciertos temas, pero dentro de todo, disfrute la dualidad que le permiten a las mujeres. No voy a decir nada más porque ya roza el spoiler.
