Still the best manga I’ve ever read. Years have passed, yet every chapter remains vivid and iconic in my mind.
Loved the first two stories. The other two just fell completely flat. Maybe the last one was a bit better than the other?..
Definitely loved it. Felt like it was a bit cheesy, but that might be just me (◍•ᴗ•◍)
I read this in like 2 weeks, very pleasurable. Loved the sex scenes and how good they were written.
Unfortunately, I do feel like the ending was too sudden. Enjoyed it nonetheless.
One of the most relaxing books that I have ever read, really made me wonder how fast time flows.
Stunning. It perfectly embodies the emotional massacre that comes with a queer person's first love.
Best manga I've read in a while! Read it all in the span of three weeks. My God... such a good read, it's been some time since I've come upon such a masterpiece.
Disappointing, unfortunately. Read it in about an hour, the only good and interesting story was the second one, with the perpetual moving machines. The rest of them... even the author acknowledges at the end that things are harder when you run out of ideas.
As much as I tried to like it, I didn't. It wasn't bad, but it felt... too slimy, dirty; there were way too many unnecessary scenes that I will get into. Interesting book, but definitely overrated.
I loved the romance, the smut scenes were soooo good written. Including autistic characters and mixing all of that with Mexican culture is definitely a great formula for success!
Favorite quote: “I'm serious, Han. Use me. Marry me”
My only complain is that the ending felt a bit... rushed. We waited so long for the characters to really acknowledge their feeling for each other, just for the book to end, but I do appreciate the sweet epilogue.
I had a blast reading this, will definitely re-read ASAP.
Superbă. Inițial, nu puteam să înțeleg care e legătura între cele două planuri narative, însă atunci când mi-am dat seama, nu am putut să mă mai opresc din citit :)
Mai ales spre sfârșit, când Kafka Tamura (pseudonimul său) a ajuns în acea pădure, acel pod intre lumea viilor și lumea morților, atunci chiar m-am convins că îi iubesc operele lui Murakami.
Sorry, just couldn't finish it. Didn't like the writing. Don't get me wrong, I breathe depressing stuff, but this... this is too much. It felt like everything was just negative, sad or didn't make sense at all.
It’s a good read. It’s great for an old book. Too hard to read, unfortunately, EXTREMELY heavy on descriptions, makes it distracting.
