From this collection, I only enjoyed “Covenant” and “Memory of Water” (?) while I wish “Hit Parade” and the one about the asylum could be longer because the story ends just as I got into it. Terminal Boredom is much better.

None of these stories really stood out to me but I'm very fascinated with the way Izumi Suzuki writes sci-fi. I'm excited to read Terminal Boredom since it seems like that one is much more enjoyed generally
