i’ve never related this much with a character as with sanshiro. so therefore my small dislikes abt the choices that are made are possibly also things i dislike within myself i realise. this is probably one of my fav things i read, if not my fav. the writing was stunning and this whole novel indeed felt like clouds passing by and letting them. this novel left me thinking, it doesn’t reveal everything. doesn’t question everything or has all the answers. it allows things to exist and pass by, which i adore a lot. ofc there were a few questionable remarks, but if you see the time it was written in and the male-centered view you can expect it. but its like not bad, it didn’t bother me much. 

yeah i love this novel, would recommend this to anyone.
