Yubin reviewed Tokyo Ueno Station by Miri Yu
A grim view into the life of the homeless japanese
4 stars
The mc is a ghost wandering through Tokyo and observing the people around him. During this we get an understanding of how differently homeless people are treated in Japan. This highlights the vast differences in japanese social classes and the missing understanding of the wealthier towards the poorer. During the whole book there are parellels to the japanese emperor.
It's a tragic book about the marginalised people of Japan.
