Status Updates From Totto-chan, the Little Girl...

My final guest of 2022, in keeping with tradition, was comedy and
talk show legend Tamori-san. I said to him, "I wonder what next year
has in store for us," to which he replied, "I think our country is about to
enter a new pre-war era." I pray that his prediction continues to be
wrong for years and years to come.

-- oof. well. Tamori is definitely not wrong.

I’m tearing up. That was so good. Review to come. 1/10/26

Excellent quote about getting a gift/ability in life and being blessed to be able to do it.

Only quibble about this book thus far is NO clue how old Totto-chan is during most of it.

Cue embarrassed emoji face here. I’m reading the SEQUEL, not the first book…gah!
