Beautifully written, with expertly crafted characters. Threw me right into Miwako Sumida’s life in late 80s Tokyo. I connected to Ryusei, Chie, Miwako and most importantly, Fumi in a way that felt like they were real.

The last few pages are written so beautifully, and it can be interpreted that it’s Fumi feeling completely at peace as being a woman, ending her battle with her gender identity and passing the curse to the real firstborn som, and also the end of Ryusei’s battle with grief, finally appreciating one last visit from Miwako before she goes onto another life

I also appreciated how it was a book about a suicide, but it wasn’t at all graphic or triggering. A new favourite of mine for sure.

The book is about a suicide and how it affects the people surrounding the deceased, but the way in which Miwako kills herself is never went into excruciating detail on.

An interesting read. I had hoped for something more profound, but the prose felt very 'middle of the road' for me.

Ya.
Gitu aja. Hehehe.
Ceritanya biasa saja, karakternya biasa saja, ya, biasa saja. Satu-satunya hal yang menarik, karena biasa saja itu.
Meskipun demikian, aku suka dengan narasi dan kalimat-kalimat yang digunakan untuk dialog.
Bukan yang bikin waw, tapi cukup menarik untuk dibaca sambil santai. 
Akhir kata, senang berkenalan dengan buku dan cerita ini. Tapi, buatku lebih menarik gaya bercerita penulisnya. Jadi yha 😃

The sexual violence and suicide play a large role, plot-wise, but are handled relatively lightly, without taking up a lot of time in the book.

Slight transmedicalist vibes, the idea that if Fumi gets GRS she might lose a her ability to see spirits. It’s suggested/stated that the ability is only passed down through the male family line so it’s sort of like saying she’s not completely a woman until she has the surgery. Also in regards to the suicide, it’s suggested that suicide is akin murder towards the end which is just a bit off.
