To put it lightly this translation was rough. I think this could have has the potential to be rated higher if the translation had been done better. Be prepared to be taken out of the story several times by weird translation choices. Overall though a very nice character study and story about belonging.

A lovely slice of life novella for a summers afternoon or long car ride. Perfect for winding down in the evening too. :)
