The Tatami Galaxy by Tomihiko Morimi

funny lighthearted mysterious medium-paced

4.0

I am enjoying a romp through Morimi's Kyoto University interweaving stories. The Tatami Galaxy is a fun alternate timeline novel revolving around the protaganist making a choice that shapes his college life trajectory (or so he thinks). Each section follows him as he joins a different club and the machinations and events that happen or don't happen. Throughout, there is plenty of light-hearted humor and love for the Kyoto college scene. My favorite character is the frenemy and possible yokai Ozu ... whose irrepressible presence across the Morimi novels and anime adaptations add substantial flavor to rival Neko Ramen. 4 stars.
