A classic
The anime can be considered a classic and so is the book. It does not tell anything that isn‘t covered by the movie. However, it is excellent for learning as you learn a lot of slang and when you know the Anime it is pretty easy to follow along. The first half of the book felt a bit lengthy, but after that, it got way better and I finished it fast. For learning, the slang is hard at first and I was also a bit confused about the Kanji for the names but after the first few chapters, it‘s managable.
