very thought-provoking, interesting and out of the ordinary. loved how the different stories interlinked and all the different topics they covered. amazing writing style and world-building
loved all about it except that i often had to google the japanese words (would have liked a little dictionary thing at the end) and that the book has received criticism for being from the outsider's perspective and often not representative of japanese culture while being written in the POV of japanese people
