I listened to the audio book version. I'm not sure if iI would have read it other wise. The writing is so Japanese, which I enjoy. I enjoyed the story and the writing. It is a bit repetitive, but I feel like part of that repetitiveness gives it a trippy feel. I do wish that Muramaki didn't focus so much on the female body quite so much. Boobs, we know they exist.
