I enjoyed this book. It was a little rushed in the end in my opinion. I can't wait to read the other books in the series.

i’m sure this reads better in Japanese, but the English translation felt clunky and awkward. the stories were also a bit predictable and as compelling as i wanted them to be.

I thought this would be more sad - it was, but at the same time hopeful. A melancholic read about regret, love and time.

Sweet and fun sci-fi book. Is it all that groundbreaking? No. Is it a cool short read? Yeah. The characters are very flat and undeveloped and the whole book is short but its fun and definitely different.
