This was cute to begin with. Then it was really heavy handed. Then it became really heavy handed and repetitive. This novel basically has one thing to say and says it explicitly again and again. It was a really quick, easy read, but there’s just not enough substance or development here to merit more than a short story.

Un libro adorable y que se devora en una tarde.
Me gusta mucho el estilo del autora y las pequeñas reflexiones que esconde en sus páginas.
Habla de ese concepto tan esquivo que es "lo correcto", de ese anhelo de ser parte de algo y de las rarezas que todos guardamos dentro.

He de decir que hacía tiempo que un personaje no me despertaba el asco que me despertaba Holden Caulfield. Shiraha no se queda corto.
Pese a todo, recomiendo el libro 100%

Fabulous, weird, gorgeous little read. A really fun “surprise twist” at the start that put the whole story into a different and unique relief. I loved Furukura, would die for her.
