A very fun, poetic, irreverent, 18+, random and decidedly femanine manga! Being decidedly not Japanese I didn't get everything. But I still found myself laughing a lot.

Despite the seeming chaos, it ends up being a very well balanced story. Everything is saying something. Everything feeds into everything else. Okazaki pushes very real character's to their extremes. Modern life in all its hilarious obsurdities.

It's very obvious to me why this book is a classic. I will definitly be tracking down every Okazaki book I can get my hands on! I found this story very creatively inspiring.
