I would definitely recommend this book to other people wanting to find on-level readings! The drawings in this book were really beautiful, and I loved the small details that the author included like the captions on the Polaroid pictures and how Hoshiko’s name was written in the stars! I hope to see more books like this!
この本を初めて読んだ時、私は本に出て来る漢語の意味が分かれなかったから、あまりおもしろくなかったですけど、後に漢語の意味をさがして、本の内容がおもしろくなりました。よんでください。作家は特別そうぞうりょくを持っています。小さい弟が姉の目に入ることはとても一般的ではないそうぞうりょくで生まれたと思います。
