I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever read a book quite like this before. The commentary on societal expectations and the pressure to 'fit in' to satisfy the people around you was very well done and kept me interested to see how Keiko would react to the influence of those around her. The writing style, while interesting, wasn't exactly my taste but it also makes sense for the character and their thought process and view on the world.
P.S - Shiraha is truthfully one of the most unbearable characters that I have read in a very long time andI was so happy to see Keiko basically tell him to fuck off in the end.
