This was a smooth and fast read. Translation was done well and it did invoke some strong feelings. The flow of writing gave some leeway to readers to make their own assumptions, and although the conclusion was quite obvious, the author still allowed it to be somewhat open-ended. However, I did feel like the background stories of the characters were not strong enough to reason why they did what they did and came out as rather vague. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it.
