"At this point, I'm clueless about what's going to happen to the main protagonist... which is good - it keeps the curiosity going. The narrative is fairly down-to-earth while at the same time it addresses some of the darker sides of Japanese society." — Oct 02, 2019 09:47AM

"I'm loving this book so far. I was fearing that this might be dreadful and/or too academic, but the author explains things really well. The author just elaborated on how we sapiens are only ones who've managed to live in largescaled groups thanks to the myths of "gods, nations and corporations". He also distinguishes an objective and imagined reality. Might be offensive for some, but nevertheless very interesting." — Sep 28, 2019 03:19PM

“Maybe it doesn’t matter if you need someone during the everyday moments of your life. Maybe what matters is that when you need someone, they are the one you need. Maybe needing someone isn’t about not being able to do it without them. Maybe needing someone is about it being easier if they are by your side.”

“We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement. When we are no longer able to change a situation... we are challenged to change ourselves.”

“The truth is that as the struggle for survival has subsided, the question has emerged: survival for what? Even more people today have the means to live but no meaning to live for.”
