I just don’t think this is a great book for me. Occasionally I felt like I had to trudge through it, but at times it was more than enjoyable. Definitely an interesting insight into a culture I don’t know much about. It might’ve just been the wrong time for me reading this..

Some of this felt vaguely similar to Mieko Kawakami. The parts of this that dabbled into fantasy were my favorite. However, I couldn’t get over the age/power gap between Tsukiko and Sensei. There were also times where I was really bothered by how Sensei treated Tsukiko.
