I adore short stories like these. Seemingly mundane, daily scenes with a touch of melancholy...and then - a twist. Each of these six stories follows this formula, and most of them succeed in pretty much perfecting it.

Here's my personal rating of each of the stories:

#1 Shiki no Zenjitsu: 8/10 Intimate, unexpected, serene in a very particular way. An emotional opener that fulfills its role perfectly.

I did understand the overall plots of these short stories, though.

This is a quick read that shouldn't take more than 20 minutes.
None of the little stories are particularly interesting, impactful or eye catching. You probably won't ...
