      I got my favourite snack from that book :) cucumber and nori, but I do think it's a little too much of sexualisation of all the female characters..it's like a lens

      @@larsvermeer I would say the book doesn’t have too much of a plot but it’s interesting seeing a college student in Tokyo navigate his lonely life. Also, just beautiful writing in general.

    I'm currently reading "crying in h mart", it's a memoir by Michelle Zauner (singer of the band Japanese Breakfast) and she writes about the time her mom was diagnosed with cancer, their relationship throughout her life and her identity as a korean-american, definitely recommend reading it!

    Such a great idea for a series! If I were brave enough, I’d film my own like this in London (where I live!) I’m currently listening to A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf on audiobook. She’s my favourite writer 😍
