Reviews

[Lindsey-Anne Pontes]

I really like the type of stories written by Yoru Sumino. "I Want To Eat You Pancreas", by Sumino, really captured my heart, both the novel and the animated movie, so I picked up all of Sumino's work. Though I enjoyed reading "I Had That Same Dream Again", I will admit I was a bit confused. I am not sure if Koyanagi Nanoka had some sort of un-explainable power, or if she saw ghosts, but when the older friends/ ladies she meets start disappearing, I am left without knowing if they were real to begin with or just made up in her head. The one that left me hanging was Skank-san. There was a moment where I almost thought this Skank-san person knew more than what we were given as the reader, but then nothing was explained as to what or how.
Overall, I enjoyed the read and will be starting on Sumino's next book "At Night, I Become A Monster".
