Thank you so very much for this. Even though I’m nowhere near to this level. This has been one of my obsessions from the very beginning. I even have the book in English and I’d love to have it Japanese too. 🙂 I think I’ve mentioned it before, I found out about him and this story through a band that has a song named 吾輩は猫である. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skBbNCx_Irw&ab_channel=BURNOUTSYNDROMESOfficialYouTubeChannel
I’m glad you like it! We have the complete story broken down and with an Anki deck for members. Here is the story:
