Yep, that matches my paper copy. Generally there seems to be one blank page between chapters. The prologue is only 2 pages of actual text.

In the BookWalker edition, the chaper names seem to be on their own page - is that what you are seeing as well? Or is there even more blank space around the chapters?
In the BookWalker edition, there is even a short chapter before the prologue which is called 手紙. Are you seeing that as well in the book? I’m posting it here for comparison:

Yes, the chapter-name pages are what I meant by ‘blank’, and the 手紙 is present.

@pocketcat and I had the idea of running a book club in a bilingual fashion, with Japanese learners reading the book in Japanese and (Japanese native speakers who are) English learners reading the book in English. We mulled this over for some time and are happy to announce that this book club will be the first bilingual one!
Please see the OP for some more information (and of course, please fill in the bilingual poll!). And if you know any Japanese native speakers who would be interested in joining this club, please direct them here.

I just finished the book and just fyi, ユージニアノート is not part of the novel, it’s an afterword that was added in the 文庫本 version. So don’t feel like you have to read it. Interestingly though, it uses the same interview format as the rest of the book. It’s not super clear to me if Onda wrote it herself? It’s not from her pov but the style is the same and there’s no name on it. The afterword mostly talks about the hardcover version of the book, so it’s a bit hard to picture when you haven’t seen it. I found some pictures here and here .
