Really loved the concept, but I do think some things got lost in translation. The overall message of some people just being destined to be in your life wasn’t lost on me, though. And as someone who does believe that I did enjoy that a lot.
The main character was also naggy and angsty which made it hard to get through at times, and some of the dialogue was straight up embarrassing.

I don't think I would have called this a 5 star book halfway through. The main character is annoying and feels like a chivalrous person, when in actually he and his best friend are completely alike. I love how the author portrays Kyoto though. I feel like I've lived there myself now. :)

"There is no such thing as that rose-colored campus life. Why? Because there is nothing rose-colored in this world. Everything is all a bunch of colors mixed up, you see."
I watched The Tatami Galaxy about a year ago absolutely loved it. When presented with the chance to read the novel that inspired it, I had to experience it once again. Needless to say, the book does not disappoint. I don't want to divulge into spoilers but I just cannot help but gush about how impactful this story was to me as a first year college student, only to have that message reinforced through my reread.
