3.5 stars 
 Post-read: I enjoyed the concept of the Kami (japanese gods) and the basic outline of the story, with an interest in what is to come in the next instalments of The Paper Gods, but the romantic aspect was generic and the emotionality was lacking. More to write when exams are "Zhong eta" (finished). 
 Pre-read: I love all things Japanese and everything that Japan encompasses - except manga and, to some degree, anime. After all, I did study nihongo for six years and go to Japan too. All these titles influenced by Japan make me a very content reader.
