I liked this? I absolutely don't think I understood the story/message in the least, but I liked the book. I think it's mainly because I don't have any experience with Japanese literature (I'm also not necessarily super great a decoding more subtle stories). It's a super cozy read with a lot of nice relaxing descriptions.
This book was a nice pause from everything else I'm reading.

Not what was expecting

Maybe it’s the translation and/or culture gap but this book did not draw me in. In fact it often put me to sleep. There was little attempt at character development and it often felt disjointed, like a series of vignettes instead of a novel.

Linda historia, no novedosa ni nada fuera de este mundo, es un "slice of life" (como ese género del anime/manga), una linda historia . Al menos si alguien tiene un mal día jaja esta lectura igual te deja en paz, slice of life cumpliendo su propósito

No pensé que se fuera a morir el gato, no pude conectar con la historia ni la prosa del autor, capaz no fue el momento de leer este libro.
