Status Updates From My Annihilation

Can’t tell if it’s poor writing or if the author is trying to intermingle the narrator and Ryodai’s stories to confuse readers on purpose.

OK they’re trying to play mind games with me

EARLY PREDICTION:

The narrator IS Ryodai Kozuka after all, but has multiple personality disorder just like Miyazaki, leaving him confused about his surroundings. It would explain the abrupt narrative style and the ambiguity of his identity.

Interesting analysis of Tsutomu Miyazaki’s psyche. Quite disturbed.

This book is very graphic and I’m not sure I’m cut out for it. I’m going to try and continue, because I think there is merit in the themes presented, but I’m just hoping that this doesn’t turn gratuitous.

“Just as I had caused the twitch in Grandma’s eye, I was the swelling in my mother’s cheeks, and was the fracture in her arm.”

Brilliant quote. Not so sure about this book though- I found some of the previous parts of the transcript to be confusing and therefore hard to read.
