Final “fuck” count: 76 

Great for supplementing your knowledge of any of the earlier Miyazaki works. At times, a little repetitive- a little rambly. Miyazaki is a wealth of spark note wisdom and amusing one-liners. 

Personally found it boring. Slow pace. No real stakes. No real climbing action. Saccharine. Hit page 200 and really started skim reading. 

 maybe first and foremost it’s a story targeted to people with healthy relationships with their mother and that’s where it was gonna lose me no matter what 

Everyone having a competition for worst employee of the month 

Gorgeous panels and watercolors. It’s neat to see the seeds of inspiration here for the later Miyazaki works to come 

Had me in the first half. Lost me in the second. There were so many plot holes that the story started to look and feel like Swiss cheese 

Never before has the question of “boxers or briefs” held so much importance 

Mona Awad beating you over the head with a character comprised solely of deep misogyny and fatphobia
