The Lantern of Lost Memories by Sanaka Hiiragi

emotional lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

5.0

I love this kind of stories Japanese authors always fulfil and match my desires in stories. One place and one character in the centre while everything and everyone are circling around.

Writing style:
It’s beautifully written. The vivid description made me feel that I’m with them in the photo studio I felt the warmth and the carpet and furniture smell with the coffee machine sound.

The plot twist was  unpredictable and the building for it was written in the best way.

Characters:
All characters are likeable in all three stories.

I really like the mouse character and wanted to know more about him.


Last thoughts:
The photo studio man (Hirasaka) and the delivery man keep each other a company and that makes me happy that at least they have each other and I wanted to really know more about them. How they started working there?
