At first, it wasn't a total win. I almost gave up my readingbut I was curious to see how keiko handle other people eye on her lifestyle . Her evolution was unexpected. At the beginning we saw her as some who like stability calm and routine. - I even found her a bit autistic coded in some kind of way and in some way it lacked in substance to be it-.
So at the end I was quite satisfied even though the rough beginning, that's too long for a story that short. I was quite compelling despite the very dark and critical environment.
