Status Updates From Grudi i jaja

this scene of natsuko feeling like she was melting during that reading makes me wonder if she’s having hot flushes 😭

book one broke me, hope book two heals

Cannot really explain why I’m enjoying the book, it’s not like it has the most engaging story. But alas, I am engaged.

if i had a nickel every time a female protagonist in a japanese novel had complicated feelings abt sex with a man but isn’t explicitly a lesbian, i’d have 2 nickels which isnt a lot but i’ve noticed this happened twice …

oh i shouldve seen this mother-daughter fight coming when midoriko asked why do ppl drink (and also taking in the fact that makiko works in nightlife)

reading midoriko's thoughts abt periods and pregnancy and nodding my head along

also why did i not know boobs kinda deflate after pregnancy/breastfeeding ... why didn't med school teach me this omg

but it is kinda sad ngl seeing how mamiko doesnt realize her obsession with her breasts is related to her neglecting midoriko and midoriko growing distant from her .
