4.0

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.

5.0

It was absolutely delightful reading Keiko's narration and relating to a character on a level I never have before. It's a quick read about Keiko navigating life as someone who does not fit the norm despite being perfectly content where she is. She heavily reads as autistic though it is not explicitly stated. I think it is a great book if you're someone who struggles with family/societal expectations or "fitting in" in general.
