A House for Two - 5/5. Stories that appeal to personal experience are a feast. Such is this story of a possesive mother through the eyes of the spinster daughter.

A Hut on the Roof 3/5 - Something more than a friendship.
An Elevator on Sunday 4/5 - Probably the only story with any action to mention, beside Mummy. Refreshing bitter-sweet ending for the whole collection.

Mambo 2/5: Something about taking your sexual desire on a leash for a walk. Instructions unclear.
Vortex 3/5: In the same reflexive tone as Dad, I love you but less engaging for me. Reminded me of Remains of the day: a meditation on one's own life. The title, Vortex, symbolizes Death, seen here as a new beginning, a regression or a return back to ancestry in due course. Not yet there to feel it.

Dad, I love you 5/5

The Owl's Estate 3/5 - About the promiscuous life of the foreign escorts in Tokyo. Lacking courage tho.

Picnic 4/5 A sensory piece about things being a bit off. A trademark of japanese writers imo.

Model T Frankenstein: 2/5

Too fractured for my taste.
