This has been on my PTR for a bit. A friend encouraged me to check it out because it shares some similarities to the book/show "Silo" (which is based on a book series) and the book/show "The Expanse". Like Silo, the people are "siloed" onto a ship, and the different levels are reflective of different social classes. Like the Expanse, more effort is put into exploring how this spacial disparity impacts cultural practices with more diversity than we see in Silo, particularly through things like language. I wasn't completely sure if I'd like to stick with it, but it's definitely better than some of the other books I've been dropping lately.

one of the better books I've read coming from Japan of recent. felt like there was a lot of depth, and there were a lot of unexpected twists. it was hard for me to predict where the author was going to take things. excellent commentary on Japanese gender roles and fatphobia. despite being a "foodie" book, it focuses a lot more on conversations of labor and cultural capital, usually skipped over in more "wholesome" japanese cuisine themed media.
