No sé que tienen los escritores japoneses que me gustan tanto, es una historia de amor y no lo esperaba aunque el mismo título lo dijera. No me identifiqué con los personajes y aún así me quedé a contemplar su historia desde el primer asiento y no podía voltear a otro lado. Me gusta mucho la escritora transmite los sentimientos de manera muy sutil, lo recomiendo mucho a quien busque una novela romántica diferente.

i liked the themes and the story a lot, but i think a lot was lost in translation for this one. i loved how poetry and language was incorporated into the story, i wish i was more familiar w japanese culture at all. the writing lacked any charisma even when the scenes and characters were pleasing. bought this bc i love the cover but the writing inside is forgettable
