I'm a librarian who loves anime, manga, and reading a wide variety of genres.
I decided to go with a library book I've had checked out for a while.
"Once I made the mistake of letting her play with my old Barbie dolls, the ones I was saving for my children"
Uh. The narrator is 12. Did any of you ever start saving stuff for your future children at that age? Because I certainly didn't. I mean, I don't know that I've ever wanted children, but it seems weird for a 12-year-old to already be planning for them.
