i quite liked this. the first two-thirds or so took me much longer to read because it was difficult to be in yunjae'e head for too long but i binged the back half very quickly. i liked the exploration of alexithymia but his narration was too much at times.
while i'm happy with the way things ended, i thought it was a tad cheesy that his mom woke up. good for him though.
i found myself really feeling for gon.
i'm happy he has sensible adults around him now at least.
