End of Book 5 thoughts (Ch 5 to end spoilers)
I really enjoyed the rest of the book. I liked how from Ch 4 it was basically a continuous story since the MC from Ch 5 also played a major role in Ch 6 and it escalates / the mystery from Ch 4 gets resolved in the epilogue. I liked the redemption of the Erika character in Ch 6. And - aaah, I canāt believe I forgot about the thief (who went to prison). Of course that was the mysterious disgruntled customer from Ch 4, not the beautician Very mysterious ending - where are they taking Yodomiā¦
Ch 5 specific thoughts
haha, I love how the 2nd grader Moemi brings the capsule to the Kouban and the officer is really patronising to her (maybe not the right word, but you know, pretending to take it seriously that the capsule is important when she internally thinks itās too cheap to matter), and then ends up with the mask stuck to her face, lol. In a way it was a twist that nothing horrible happened out of that! Just the officer becoming so unbearably beautiful she wanted it reversed Very relaxing Saturday morning reading.
Ch 6
That was cute that Moemi was so innocent and took the drink and that solved her public speaking problem so well. For kids this is probably a good one, exploring emotions around jealousy and wanting things so bad they think about hurting others to get there. But for adults, although we (hopefully) already learned lessons about those themes, I thought it was still a nice story, and the redemption of Erika was a nice twist, I was expecting things to get out of hand and Beniko to have to step in. I liked that Erika figured it out herself. OMG, and the cute armored cat, when I read the description I was thinking, wait, Iāve seen that before There is a picture of it on the table of contents page.
