An intense fantasy romance. The plot was good and can make you suspect everyone before the culprit finally got revealed. Perang batin dengan pemikiran karakter utama cukup relatable and very much humane. The book is enjoyable to read.

A heart wrenching book taken from a true tragedy during World War II. I admire how Ruta can depict the situation and horror during the war with her words. Most parts gave me the shivers and goosebumps. It's a really good book to be read for those who like history fiction.
The point of view were taken from four different people with different characteristics yet it wouldn't confuse you to read it. Every chapter flows just like a river and very enjoyable to read. A page-turner book, beautiful yet tragic.

Romance ringan yang sangat menggambarkan kehidupan di akhir umur 20 an untuk orang Asia, khususnya Indonesia. Cocok dibaca untuk yang sedang merasa kesepian maupun hilang harapan dengan jodoh. Dikemas dalam bentuk cerita yang mengalir dan mudah dipahami, penggambaran sifat setiap karakter dapat dilihat dari cara mereka menganggapi setiap situasi yang terjadi. Buku yang amat seru untuk dibaca dalam sekali duduk!

Keigo never failed in writing a story that feels close to reality. The story of this book shows that there's no one in this world who can bare the feeling of guilt. It's important to remember it's never a clever move to sacrifice yourself for other person, no matter how much you love them. I can certainly feel the pain of Mr. X in the end.

This book basically shows us that everyone–no matter from what background you came from–has the right to choose whether you will follow an advice or to do the opposite, to choose a new path or stay in your path, to let go or not to let go, and it's also your choice to regret or not to regret the decisions that you have made. Life is basically a table full of platters with various kind of dishes that are free for you to take, to taste, or to keep. We all have the chance to create a better future for ourselves, no matter how cruel the past was.

Buku yang amat informatif dan menggambarkan secara tepat seperti apa perasaan atau apa yang dirasakan penderita depresi atau serangan panik ketika hal yang mereka derita tersebut kembali muncul. Tidak hanya reminder kecil yang diberikan oleh penulis yang membekas di benak saya, cara penulis menceritakan jatuh bangunnya ia dalam usaha untuk sembuh juga berhasil menyandarkan saya kalau pemilihan tidak bersikap linear dan kemajuan sekecil apapun merupakan suatu hal yang membanggakan. Kemauan dan kesabaran adalah dua kunci utama untuk bisa bertahan dalam proses penyembuhan dari penyakit mental ini.

A very light graphic novel for everyone who would like to have something to read in one sit. Gambar dan cerita yang dipaparkan penulis menggemaskan, membuat pembaca turut dapat merasakan hangatnya rasa cinta antara sepasang kekasih ketika membaca buku ini.

Penulisan plot yang diambil dari sudut pandang seorang anak kecil membuat buku ini menjadi ringan untuk dibaca meskipun isinya cukup berat karena membahas tentang problematika kehidupan. Alur yang apik serta cerita yang terasa dekat dengan realita pahit di kehidupan kita membuat buku ini rasanya akan meninggalkan bekas yang mendalam untuk pembacanya. Pembaca akan diingatkan kembali betapa lugu sekaligus cerdasnya seorang anak kecil itu dan ya, terkadang apa yang orang dewasa anggap baik belum tentu baik untuk si anak yang merasakan.
