I loved Miwako Sumida from the same author. This one isā¦ disturbing. Because this book features almost adult-minor relationship.Ā
Of Ren who came to a rural town for his sisterās funeral.Ā
Heās also determined to find the truth over his sisterās brutal death. He stayed there for over 6 months, replaced his sisterās position as a teacher in a tuition centre, and lived in a mansion of a local politician his sister last resided.
I questioned Ren who swore he knew his sister, confidently saying āmy sister wasnāt like thatā but you didnāt really care about her personal life? And the whole Seven Star affair is disgusting! Justifying it as human nature is not okay. At least I want him to be held accountable. The whole book is just him creating a temporary harem. Aside from his flings, another thingthat was falling in love with his own sister? is also sickening.
I love the side characters though, hence the rating.

This book doesn't work for me, sadly.
I feel so indifferent about it as a whole. Character-wise, I found most of them to be insufferable. We love morally gray or flawed characters, sure. You still need to give more background info/personality though. So I can understand where they're coming & make it more fun to read. I just need more depth in their characterization, that's all.
Since I don't really root for these characters, various questionable decisions that they make through out the story just annoy me greatly.
Even the mystery plot can't save this one for me.
I have no idea how to rate this type of book, so I will keep it at no rating.
