None of the stories or the art really resonated with me, but I am not really the target audience

It does not sit right with me, using the term "oriental" about a person. About things, cuisines, and stuff like that, fine... but about people? It's a no from me (someone who's half korean)... and it was on the very first page, soooo

Really nice collection of short stories. As usual the art is wonderful, I love the way Tomine draws faces/expressions. The design of the book itself is also noteworthy, the cover is fantastic and I really adore the title cards for the stories and how the relate to the stories. My favorites out of this bunch were "Amber Sweet", "Go Owls" and "Killing and Dying" but all were very enjoyable reads.
