parts hits hard when you work in customer service and have social anxiety. shiraha’s character was and continued to be so repetitive though honestly would’ve enjoyed just listening to furukura talk about how much she loves working at the conscience store the whole time that was the best part

i can now say i have a favorite book. her writing style is so beautiful somehow she manages to weave in multiple metaphors, antidotes, scientific facts, and stories so fluidly. every chapter struck a chord with me unlike anything i’ve read before. yea just incredible writing and story telling i can’t wait to read more of her work.
