xtinaji's review against another edition

A very pleasant, simple read! Reminds me of a friend who always made math seem so beautiful and elegant. There's an underlying current of motherhood and childhood that is brought out in this trio of characters, and even with the professor's limited memory, there's always a sense of progression. I found it extremely endearing. A sort of found-family story that relies on a continuously renewing emotional intimacy - something to be said of how worth and love transcend traditional means of worth.

I was going to give this a 4.75 but after reaching the heartfelt and warm ending, i changed my mind. If you like Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa, you’ll love this book. The themes are similar and both have perseverance in spite of all odds, being patience and kind to people because we don’t know what they went through kind of stories. I love it. I really do. I really love the professor’s love for Root, it was bittersweet because he’d make a very loving and fun grandpa if he didn't get into the accident. It also fascinates me how someone could look at numbers and mathematics with so much love and curiosity because i remembered hating it up until my last year in junior high where I finally appreciate the intricacies of math’s formulas. But of ourse not to the extent of the professor who seemingly live to divulge the secrets of his universe (numbers and maths)

Also Yuko Ogawa just has the kind of writing that’ll make you flip pages after pages because you’re so engaged in the book. I have her other works in my tbr and when i got my hands on them i’ll be locked up in my room and read her instead of doing my assignments LMAOO. I’m going to stop here cause that’s a very lengthy review from me that no one wants to read.
