i absolutely love this, I have also read some of the books that you reviewed (heaven from mieko kawakami being my favorite book ever) and it's my first time seeing someone not finding "convenience store woman" boring and just it being about a weird and awkward woman while missing the whole point of the book, I think this blog might be one of my favorites(I also love the your whole web design tbh!!!)

i always liked murata's art (except his fondess for lolis), especially how well thought things are and designs make sense. i really agree that we need more of this than genshin/gacha tier designs these days. elaborate ott designs are terrible to draw and keep on model, i don't get how popular it got in original character spaces. maybe i'm weird but i like when character designs, outfits make sense for the setting.

yes! his designs are so sleek, and exactly how does it even pay off to have such intricate messy designs?
