器用な痛み (Tankobon Hardcover)

The protagonist's unique condition makes for a compelling lens on human suffering and resilience. I wonder what led the author to explore this unusual trait and its implications.

There were some beautifully detailed passages, but I found my attention waning at times. Do others think this was a deliberate choice to deepen character, or could it have been tightened?

The conclusion left me pondering the protagonist’s fate and the nature of pain itself. Would love to hear different perspectives on what the ending signifies.
