This book is recommended for middle school students. This book depicts Josee and Tsuneo as they meet and their relationship grows and changes. In my future classroom, this book could be used to show character development, plot progression, and conflict and resolution.

So glad I was exposed to Tanabe’s writing. I wanted to read the story of Josee before I read the manga. The Josee story was actually weakest story in the collection.

5 stars due to the fact that any student studying the Ise Monogatari or Taketori Monogatari could really use this book to help them understand the annotated texts. The language is not as stiff yet rather accurate to the original.
