I’ve never been so inspired to view people in general with such a positive, understanding, and appreciative lense. Every single character is admirable even full of flaws and aspects they find embarrassing about themselves. I don’t understand how the author grasps people SO. WELL. How embarrassing life can be, how different people act when they’re out of their comfort zone, how kind and well intentioned they can be while coming across differently depending on the perspective…It’s as if I am inside each and everyone of their minds, experiencing their struggles without negative bias. I hope to treat my friends and family the way Mitsumi and her friends do. They are so fully realized, I understand them more than many people I come across in real life.

It’s gorgeous truly. I enjoyed it but really wish the tours weren’t so crowded. The house is not built for groups of 15 to fit in a singular bedroom. Plus no photos can be taken after the ground floor which is disappointing since the tour costs a lot of money. I don’t want to complain since it was nice but I was let down by this since you can’t enjoy or linger in the spaces without being squeezed in and can’t take photos of so many interesting areas. Oh well. I would feel better if other people share this experience or have some wisdom.
