 The comradery between Kafka and Ichikawa is so wholesome. I love those older mentor – rookie dynamics though Kafka’s got the same level of expertise as Ichikawa. I hope Ichikawa sticks around. I purposefully didn’t read the summary, so I thought this was going to be one of “2nd chances” type of stories. Well, color me surprised. The plot took an abrupt twist out of nowhere. 

This has my interest as of now, so I’ll read a volume two.
