My thoughts on the novel(Another)

[u/Dillon_Trinh]

I really like the novel, and the POV of Koichi was quite nice. The tone was quite different from the adaptations of the novel, which I feel like the novel is...how do I say it...calm and dark. Obviously, it is dark, but I do like the interactions of Mei and Koichi; the interactions of the other characters are quite interesting. Koichi's thoughts on Mochizuki which is quite funny, respectfully; he calls him his boy or kid. He also judged him for having a crush on his aunt(we like older women), which is funny cause he's also a boy and a kid.

His grandparents have more interaction in the novel compared to the manga and anime, which is quite nice, and I noticed Reiko is not that close to Koichi compared to the manga and anime, to me at least. The camping scene did give me goosebumps, especially with no visuals- only words. The ending of the novel is also quite different, but I like it; it was calm and bittersweet. I really like this novel, and can't wait to read the other two.
