3.5 stars.

"Having played to her heart's content, Chibi would come inside and rest for a while. When she began to sleep on the sofa - like a talisman curled gently in the shape of a comma and dug up from a prehistorical archaeological site - a deep sense of happiness arrived, as if the house itself had dreamed this scene."

Review to come.
