this was such a charming book! we follow several individual characters who have the most interesting jobs i've ever read about, and most of their jobs/interactions happen throughout the night all over tokyo. in the beginning, i wasn't really sure where this story was going. as with some other japanese translated books, sometimes the writing can feel a bit dry and disconnected. 

however once the story started connecting each character together, and the theme of how fate intertwines people even in one of the largest cities like tokyo, i was locked in. i really ended up enjoying the moments these characters had together, how they each had a part to play in each other's lives, and i was happy to get a satisfied ending (despite some of the characters having an open ending!).
