Oh wow. My brain is … toasty and I can’t quite see straight. I should probably total these numbers up!

I really wanted to reread the first two chapters in order to be able to say that I read the entire book in one day. But the way the hiragana is swimming around the page now makes me feel like maybe … that is a stretch goal too far. Anyway, plenty of self-respecting graded readers are only 167 pages long, so it’s still like I read a whole book in a day …

Anyway, comments on the last story … it was written by … THE Akutagawa!? As I expected, it was kind of scary. Definitely intense. Brain is too toasty for much more than that.

Wow, today’s been such a journey!
