Mizukami Shin’s stories are truly unique. It’s a common theme with her that, upon my first reading of her books, I tend to dislike them. But upon my second or even third reading, I come to truly appreciate the beauty of her stories.
When I first read this story, I was probably between 10 and 11 years old. I didn’t enjoy it, and more than anything, I didn’t understand it. The plot was confusing due to me being so young, and everything seemed so... dark.
After revisiting it a few years later, I came to understand the story a lot better, and actually began to love it quite a bit. The wholesome fluffiness in the last few chapters had completely flown over my head as a kid, since I was blinded by the morbidness of it all. But I’m happy I came back to it, as I do believe this author has something special to offer.
The same thing happened with my first reading of Rikugun Renai Shikan Gakkou. A problematic story, yes. But quite beautiful if read under the right conditions.
