  • (that’s [spoiler]text here[/spoiler]).

  • If you have a question about grammar, vocab, the story, cultural things or anything else related to the book — ask! There’s no need to be shy. If it’s something you are wondering about, chances are someone else will be thankful you asked first, lots of people enjoy answering questions, you learn something new, and the thread gets more lively. It’s a win-win on all fronts!

I read this section so fast! It was cool to hear Akari’s side of the story, and the idea of her life building itself around her really intrigued me. (Would she eventually be able to see 透明ママ?)

Still no idea how the fantastical-seeming grey sections fit in to everything…

I also enjoyed reading how things were for Akari.

I find strange how the power of the 帰命寺 seems to be beyond the actual “resurrection”. Considering how everyone except Kazu remembers and recognizes Akari, I feel it would have made more sense that she was just taken over by a normal family that “remembers” her as their daughter, with a normal home instead of an invisible mother with a home that spawns furniture and household objects into reality on demand.

Me too! This was a fun one. And much easier to read.

Yeah the perspective shift was fun. I don’t think I would have managed as well as she did :sweat_smile:
