„An antithesis essay against conservative theories on women and the way young girls should live their lives.”
From Kadokawa Library reviews:
「The overall tone is light, but at its root is Terayama’s anarchic liberalism.
He completely distrusts established morals and authority. In that sense,
this book is more reminiscent of Terayama as a theater artist than as a poet.」
