4.5 stars. Not until I finished it could I put down the book! 😆 Falling into a parallel universe has been a popular setting that easily becomes predictable and insipid, but the author's clever design and delicate depiction of characters's mind has brought a fresh flavor to the story. Also I'm definitely in love with the detailed description of the profession of the characters! Makes me think of another beloved book from her, "40男と美貌の幹部". It's been a while since I enjoyed a book in Japanese, and I'm glad this book brings back my passion and love ❤️

I really like the workplace dynamic part of book (it helps that I was also getting squeezed by a client, my coworkers, and my manager at work, all of whom I wanted to strangle from time to time when I was reading this book.)
It’s interesting how Akihito’s perception of the parallel world evolves. At first he thought everyone was nicer in that world but he slowly realized it’s because the Akihito in the parallel world had been easier on himself and more friendly with his coworkers, especially so with Oogami, so they were also nicer to him. But it’s fascinating that, despite all of that, he chose to come back to his original world because he likes the clumsier and less nice version of Oogami, while most people would have preferred to stay in the easier parallel world, especially because Oogami from that world told Akihito flat out that he was courting Akihito. But it makes me wonder how the Akihito and Oogami from the parallel world would fare. I hope the author would write an extra story about the other couple.
Honestly, this is not a page turner but it’s really soothing to read. Oogami getting jealous of his other self is really adorable. I also learned a thing or 2 from this book such that there may be better ways of dealing with people at my work than strangling them.

It’s ok 3.5. Pretty cute. Nth much going on tbh but it contains very nice character reflection. Sometimes, u feel like the world is bleak but maybe, that’s on you to change it
