Not necessarily bad, but boring and wayyyy too long. The magical realism was good as always, too bad there was so little of it.
If I took a shot every time Murakami mentions breasts, I would have died of alcohol poisoning only a couple of chapters in. It also disgusted me that Akikawa Marie existed as a character only so that he could sexualize a 13-year-old🫠
