I love this book for letting me see more of Kunikida’s POV. The writing was fine, the dialogue was funny and impactful at certain points, (but most importantly they had had meaning or served a purpose to the story, as expected of Kafka Asagiri) but I really just love being able to see things from Kunikida’s perspective. The while “ideal” thing was explained and being repeated over and over again to the point where I myself almost believed in it and when that vision was shattered, I almost felt kind of sad.
