I enjoyed the stories "Dad, I love you" and "Vortex" the most. But overall a great short story collection that gives a strong impression on what Tokyo as a city is and even though I've never been there, I can imagine what it's vibe is. Books with the same atmosphere are "All the Lovers in the Night" by Mieko Kawakami, "The Cat and the City" by Nick Bradley and "Kitchen" by Banana Hashimoto, as well as "Convenience Store Woman" by Sayaka Murata.
