細く高い鼻が少し寂しいけれども、

Nariz solitaria en qué aspecto? Jajaja es la primera vez que veo una descripción así.

(part two) goddamn, ok. i definitely found myself more invested as time went on. komako really is quite a tragic figure, and you do also get a sense of the emptiness of shimamura's life. ending is surprisingly high-key for this book, but definitely affecting still. i think i would appreciate this book more on a reread, so that i can pay more attention to the nature and imagery ... still, i did like it. good read.

part one leaves us at an interesting point. i take it we'll pick back up after a timeskip where the two leads reunite after years of repressed feelings for another. this genre of story is always very compelling to me. so, as of now, it's intriguing to me - can't say i have fallen in love with the prose (which i think is the main draw), but may do so in time. blame it on my own struggles as a reader.
