I liked Keiko most of the time (slightly reminiscent of Eleanor Oliphant), but I did not like Shiraha and thought that whole situation was very odd. I enjoyed the reflective moments at certain points and found Keiko funny/strange in her own unique way, but overall the story didn't seem to go anywhere and I don't think I would have finished it were it not such a short read.
