The title is a spoiler for the “twist”. Not a difficult one to spot though, it‘s main allegory is as subtle as using a sledgehammer to knock in tacks on an Ikea wardrobe. I don‘t know if this book is pretentious or if Kitamura writes pretentious people well. The character‘s internal monologues and mental reasonings are actually satisfying to read, it‘s just the plot is thinner than Homer Simpson‘s hair. Dagnabbit, I fell for the hype on this one.
