Reading this book felt like I was reading the screenplay of an anime. Which makes sense, since it was originally written as a play.
The characters were simple and childish, and obvious things were often overexplained or repeated over and over again. This made reading it frustrating sometimes.
However, it had it's good moments. The concept is interesting, and some of the short stories were touching.
