it's definitely one of the prettiest hardbacks i own now, and i was really excited for it with makoto shinkai (the filmmaker of your name and weathering with you) having been involved and all.
but something was missing. i could go ahead, say it was boring and call it a day, but that wouldn't do it justice at all.
i suppose it was missing the sort of excitement that comes with uniqueness. because though it was a very heartfelt book with unique characters, it didn't feel very ... new? earth-shattering?
everything about the book was just fine, yk. but 'fine' books usually aren't the ones that stick with you for a long time.
very wholesome, forgettable, and wise in a very conventional type of way.

me parece genial que el autor haya querido tocar temas profundos e importantes como el duelo, la dificultad de expresar sentimientos, el deseo de vivir de tu arte, entre otros. también fue interesante poder ver tanto el punto de vista de las chicas, pasando y viviendo esas emociones, como de los gatos que lo describían de una manera más objetiva (aunque algo limitada, debido a su naturaleza animal). creo que el concepto del libro podría haber sido increíble e incluso desarrollarse más, hasta llegar a ser una buena novela.
sin embargo, todo hubiese sido mucho mejor si la historia no hubiese estado escrita por un hombre. es una pena porque podría haber sido una historia muy bonita, en la que partimos de un par de personajes y luego nos centramos en otros interrelacionados con ellos. pero, no sé, hubieron muchas cosas que me chirríaron... chobi refiriéndose a miyu como su novia, la relación de chobi y mimi y, en general, la representación femenina. se notaba bastante que los personajes femeninos están escritos por un hombre, que definitivamente debió haberse puesto en contacto con mujeres para que le revisaran ciertos aspectos de la historia.
