There have been 3 major revelations so far - one makes sense (wasn't obvious, but wasn't a shock either), one is genius, and one is a total fail (there's an early scene that becomes extremely unnatural once this is revealed - why wasn't this rewritten? I don't even mean foreshadowing, just consistency).
This is going to be a hard book to rate. A lot of great stuff but also a lot of misses...

Everything has been exposition so far. This feels very American (while the setting is Tokyo and the MC is supposed to be Japanese or, at the very least, the clients clearly should be). It's also a romance (my bad for not realizing), which became evident when the only man of marriageable age so far was described - hint: no book that's not a romance will need to tell you about the sharpness of an attractive man's jaw.
