I admit what first drew me to this novel was the gorgeous cover. It's a bit stereotypical but I can't look away! adfkjaldkfja. But how fascinating does this summary and title sound? One of the first science fiction YAs I've ever been excited for! And it will most likely be my first translated work.
Has anyone read it in the original Japanese? What May releases are you looking forward to this week?
