- Visually the control Obata displays over water colour is amazing, there is always thought put into where colour is deemed necessary and where it's best just to use negative space.
- On the whole I felt that the storyline within this and creating a bond between the reader and the main character and their emotions was the main focus within this narrative.
- As a result the illustrations made were used to back up the storytelling whereas in Maps of Days it felt like the storytelling backed up the illustrations.

Moving further into the novel the story starts to break away from it's almost diary like structure and becomes a lot more about personal identity struggle. Using the kabuki actor as a visual symbolism for the constant struggle she feels about her identity is a smart and effective way of getting across her constant to the reader by staggering the kabuki actor throughout the storyline and having them appear whenever the main character faces doubt about her heritage.
