I like this dude's writing. It's a more fun murakami. Even when aoyama is daydreaming about women or thinking about women's legs, it feels less gratuitous than haruki's weird fixation vibes.
Also, i thought aoyama was a girl's name. Then again, i've only read aoyama in haruka murakami's book

Im gonna bet none of it will matter. All this narrative only for him to die right? It's a bit abrupt! But we shall see

Ok so the dream must have some significance. Or is it aoyama's imagination of what amani was going through as a child or smth

Pretty descriptive sex memory. Tho in this case it seems warranted. I guess he wants us to feel the longing.

Ok so he told her how he feels. She ran away. They reconciled. He's now being told by a trusted source, someone who liked his wife, that she's either a monster or a saint. Obviously it must be monster, but as far as we see, it's all justified and explicable by trauma or something. We shall see

This guy. Something bad's gonna happen to him. She's too eager.

Someone cut off Shibata's feet. "At leas the rumor had nothing to do with Yamasaki Asami." What do you call it where the reader knows more than the protagonist? It's like watching a car crash in slow motion lol
