Really great, though not quite at The Traveling Cat Chronicles level. (I think I just prefer novels.) Though the titular story did make me cry. The others were all good, and she implements it masterfully, but there's only so far you can go with this premise. I would be interested to read what Arikawa has to offer outside the subject.
Graphic: Death
Moderate: Animal death, Grief, and Death of parent
Minor: Terminal illness and Car accident
