it shows the ripple effect of childhood trauma & how it lasts into adulthood. trauma can stunt your growth. the coping mechanisms the main character takes on is because she realizes she can’t escape the world having control over her body & mind. she disconnects herself as a survival mechanism.

It was definitely an experience. Maybe not a good one, but an experience nonetheless.
If it had been bad, I would've DNFed, but Sayaka Murata has a way of constructing the narrative that just sucks you in no matter how uncomfortable it gets.
And as always, the she gets it. The social commentary from an "outsider" view is both funny and tragic, and made me very grateful for the fact that I'm as straight as an ellipsoid.
Mind the trigger warnings, please. I didn't read them and was caught completely off guard thinking it was going to be a silly goofy time like "Convenience Store Woman" was.
