Arikawa did a great job with connecting you to Nana, which was obviously important since he was one of the MCs even though he's a cat. The bonding between Nana and Satoru truly felt very organic and not forced at all. Even with this being a short book and with quite a few characters popping up, none of the pages were wasted. Everything was important to the story, nothing dragged on, everything had a purpose.

The ending was not a surprise really as there is foreshadowing throughout the book, but with the connection that I was able to make to Satoru and Nana and their relationship, I didn't need to be surprised by it. It still took me for a ride even with me knowing what was going to happen.

Definite recommend and with it not being a beast of a book, I will likely read this one again.
