There is fun humor present within the story, the writing has its own style and the idea behind it is really interesting. The juxtaposition between all these different dimensions and how the characters are the same and yet not at the same time is very smart, but I got quite bored of it as I got further into the story, and I think it’s just because the characters weren’t engaging to me. They are intentionally made unlikable, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing in fiction, but it doesn’t quite work here in my opinion.

This book was full of essentially my favorite thing ever: banter!!!! All the characters were super memorable and seriously make up for the slow plot. Ozu is my hero fr

"Liar, liar, pants on a wire!"
"Are you hanging up the laundry, dumbass? You mean 'fire'."

I like chapter 2 the best. Not sure what to make out of the whole thing, was kinda chaotic and not always in a good way. Akashi is the only character I would protect.
