Loved this book.
Such a good story. Entertaining and emotional. Very fast pace. The plot is very simple and heavily focused on the characters rather than the plot.
Loved the characters so much, specifically Nagare, Kei and Kazu. I really enjoyed the four short stories and how they were all connected.
The author writting style is very accessible, and I enjoyed how she would include little hints throughout the stories.
Cried many time, 3/4. Can't wait to read the other two books, and perhaps learn more about the world.
