  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

This book broaches on very intense emotional concepts while remaining calm and somewhat positive. It is an adaptation of the play by the same name (by the same author) and this is clear to see in how the characters act, speak and how the setting is affected. Translated for Japanese, it is a bit flat at times, but understandably so and seems otherwise to be a fast and easy read.
