Life Ceremony - the titular story is quite a feat! So far the book has a theme of rejecting social norms, or the idea of social norms changing as time passes, and asking just what would be so bad about society changing in this way. It's a very interesting thought experiment.

The Time of The Large Star and Poochie were both VERY strange stories, but I enjoyed them well enough.

Two's Family: Absolutely beautifully written, the idea of two women creating a family together, bound by a promise made in school, but being in a platonic relationship is so interesting and cool. Friendships have so much love and care in them, they're as valid as romantic relationships.

A Summer Night's Kiss: I really liked this story, for as short as it was. I'd read a whole novel just about Kikue's and Yoshiko's friendship, as always I really like how Sayaka Murata writes about asexual people/relationships, even if it's not intentional.
