This book really suffered because of the translation. The writting is very much hit or miss but I've heard that it's because of the expressions and words in Japanese that just don't tend to exist in other languages.
Also there's quite a few mistakes in here, both those facts make the reading g experience kinda tough.
All in all, I think its a decent book but I don't think it'll be one I re-read. It didn't quite capture and hold my attention as I read and I found myself skipping over some descriptions as it sometimes got too repetitive. Also if you want to enjoy this book you will probably have to get past the first story which is clunky and genuinely hard to get into, the stories improve as you progress.
