The character's owner had the worst state of life, but he had a positive outlook, with the description being that of a third-person point of view that didn't seek attention nor approval; it was so humane and touching. It brought awareness as to the mindset animals have—the kind of little things humans find worrisome but to them it isn't. It makes you realize just how much overthinkers we tend to be. There were plenty of characters not only pointing to the cat's perception but also demonstrating the versatility of personalities of people Satoru met throughout his lifetime.

This book wrapped me up in a cosy blanket, made me a mug of hot chocolate and then ripped my heart out of my chest. My cats looked at me with disdain as I cried, a fitting response.
