Absolutely gorgeous book. I haven't cried in months, and this had me in tears several times. Not only is the story incredible, the translation is also done so well (much better than the official translation, that's for sure). Overall, this just has so much heart and soul in it, and it genuinely restored my faith in humanity. Go read it (only after checking the content warnings, tho, it can be very intense).

Lots of subtle homophobia and misogyny. There's some dubious consent towards the very end, and the extras have some pretty risque nsfw scenes.

i don't recommend reading this before watching the live adaptation. the time-skips are not always coherent and sometimes there's a flashback inside of a dream inside of a talisman-induced recollection inside of a-- you get the idea

Sexually explicit scenes are in chapters chapter 95, chapter 111, and chapter 112 and those chapters can be easily skipped if you'd rather not read them. Also, work/death camp-like setting, very dubious consent, and corporal punishment.
