After the Quake – 3.5 Stars:
These short stories are “cute” and carry a consistent theme, but for me, they’re missing that Murakami magic. I found myself a little bored and often distracted while listening.
The only story that really stood out was “Super-Frog Saves Tokyo”—it had the right energy and vibe I associate with his best work.
Not my favorite from the author, but not without charm.

A short and great read. Overall it's good but man one of them was so bad. Hated all of children can dance.
It could have been better, but he had to include weird sexualisation of the mother character.
Like I know some people can think like sexually about their mother, but did he had to write it down?
It was really uncomfortable to read the story and hard to relate to the author.
The trope of adult Japanese women being oblivious to sex and thier sex appeal/attraction is honestly tiring.
Who acts like a kid as an adult and what's with Japanese media liking this. I really don't get them.
Without that the story was alright as the parts about it were good.
And from the rest really loved honey pie. From the rest, super frog saves Tokyo was fun and landscape with flatiron was memorable.
