Cried ugly at the last story ? A mix of heart warming story makes the book a nice balance. Some lines do feel like they are there to increase the word count but still okay, I guess.
One confusing bit in the book is where in the last story, Koku told Kinuyo he was going to France "the next day", but Kazu apparently received a message from him attached with his selfie in France "that very evening" ??≠?
