i’m not sure how much i would have gotten out of this novel if i wasn’t such a fan of the anime adaptation. most of the motifs and thematic elements from the series are present in the novel, but the anime restructures and refines the narrative in a manner that undeniably elevates the material.

A fun exploration in the art of getting in your own way and wishing life was different, only to find that across infinity your life is the same because you can’t let go and grow up.

This story really brought me back to the angst of my college days. I enjoyed the self effacing humor of the narrator and his journey to discover his fate, alongside a cast of endearingly ridiculous & self-absorbed characters.

A totally unique read for me. I really didn't like many of the characters, but i thought the story was original and interesting. I'd like to explore more from this author!
