in all seriousness, it was very thought-provoking and unique, never have I come across something very similar to this. A tragic story, but what makes it even worse is that the boys' thoughts are not that much out of the ordinary, and people with mindsets like theirs do exist in real life. The writing was beautiful and compelling, surprisingly even in the sexual scenes — I've read much worse (Murakami...), this didn't even seem like it was written by a man (it's a compliment).

otherwise, it has some beautiful prose and a dark, intriguing story, but the above issues made it difficult to stay engaged and a bit of a slog at times. the character of fusako was also underdeveloped and underutilised.
