What an experience! I’ve never read a character like Akari, or perceived a life like this in such close proximity. Though the text translates the vividness of Akari’s emotions and sensations, it’s pace provides a meditative space, which I appreciated. 

I don’t typically read translated work (specifically) Japanese to English) and find them tiresome to digest, but I’m glad I picked this one up again after almost giving up at the half way mark.
