Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars
Another futuristic Sci-fi Japanese dystopia with a train station this time as the main cause of all the chaos. After reading the description I was so curious to read more and to see how it's going to end. I learnt that the story started on twitter where the author posted this theory of Yokohama Station as a living organism, yep!
I liked it, it has this dystobian vibes that you only find in the Japanese Sci-fi books, mangas or animé. The plot was interesting, the only thing, and it might be crazy, is that I was waiting for more dramas, more misadventures and some complicated developments. For me, it should have been more longer with a less easy ending like "just push the button you layman!" Also, Hiroto's character needed more development and Toshiro's wasn't that interesting as a mad character that hated humanity. All in all, I found it a little bit tame for a Japanese dystopia.
Anyway, I enjoyed it and I would be happy to see it as an anime movie that's for sure. I'm gonna check the manga that the author mentioned it in his afterword if I could find it.
