A review by caseyreadslol
Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto

hopeful reflective sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

not much to say, just a juxtapositionally cozy story about grief&loss

Content Warnings

Graphic: Death, Transphobia, Death of parent, and Grief

Moderate: Hate crime and Murder

Minor: Suicide

I chose to rate the transphobia explicit as the main trans character is murdered by a stalker claiming she "tricked" him, very much evoking trans panic, though the moment itself is not told in gruesome detail
