This book is rather uncomfortable but in a very good, eye-opening, and thought-provoking way. Saou Ichikawa confronts entrenched ableism with a raw, unapologetically abrasive tone:

Able-bodied Japanese people have likely never even imagined a hunchbacked monster struggling to read a physical book. Here was I, feeling my spine being crushed a little more with every book that I read, while all those e-book-hating able-bodied people who went on and on about how they loved the smell of physical books, or the feel of the turning pages beneath their fingers, persisted in their state of happy oblivion.
