Better than most other stuff that I have picked up
Writing this review already, over half way through, but I am already getting tired of the independent stories/chapters not continuing except for the very last line of each chapter where she logs the child and money received. I wonder if the broader story and her motives get addressed within the first volume or in later volumes? I am losing patience! Nevertheless, this is generally more interesting and an easier read than other books that I have picked up so far (generally try to avoid high school romance - 70% of Japan's output).
--- Finished the book. The stories are different and interesting later on. And yes, the very end of this first volume has a couple of pages about the shop and Benny Ko lady. I am ready to move on to other books and also need to progress my language learning; this book has limited Kanji usage to roughly elementary school with the rest in hiragana so it is on one side accessible but on the other side limiting kanji exposure.
