Skimmed at first then skipped Ruth’s parts as they bored me. Ending felt a bit rushed — ironic considering how long it is. Very informative and illustrated the nuances of Japanese culture. Enjoyed Nao’s narrative style.
Moderate: Mental illness, Death, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, and Rape
Minor: Sexual content
