this was definitely a unique read. the novel is split into two parts, and i wasn’t hooked until the second part. it was not at all what i expected, but i wouldn’t say that i was disappointed. i liked this one better than heaven! my favorite characters were natsuko and rika; once rika was introduced i began to enjoy the novel more.
