4.0

Falling in love with the mundane and authenticity of Japanese literature. Initially, I was waiting for the story to drop, a plot twist or an unexpected event but there was none. Life isn’t all about the twists and turns but the hum and calmness which adds to life’s beauty. This story is about the lives of two individuals and how they become intertwined. A beautiful mundane love story that normalises life (funnily enough).
