Well, it's official - Makoto Shinkai is now my comfort director. Only he could make something so conventional and arguably problematic so rich and compelling that those previous two things don't really even matter that much at the end of the day. Impossible (unfairly so, I realize) not to compare this to ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜•๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ. as this never really reaches those same emotional peaks, story/character complexities, the music's cornier and it doesn't look *as* good imo. But it reminds me of something like Miike's ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜“๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ where even his lesser, more commercial works are still better than most other stuff available - I mean this is still one of the best looking and sounding movies on the planet which features a heap of continuous tear-draining emotional moments that are impossible to forget. Unlike many recent Disney outings - for example - which are guilty of comparable sins, this really, truly believes in itself and it's reverberated while viewing with a staggering force. Not ashamed to admit I loved nearly every second of it.

A leap of faith.

D'asia, twenty-six year old modern woman, beautiful, caring and chosen.
     She's been through a lot in her life and now her entire existence has changed. Saved and protected by her employer, chosen by him for extremely important task and transported in an ark full of books and items ready to rebuild a world that broke down and collapsed in on itself.

Book mate is compelling and highly erotic. Not for young readers due to the sexual details but definitely food for thought with the rest of the story. D'asia has to navigate situations that more mature people would struggle with and to be honest, I think she handles it really well. Her world is turned upside down but she works her way through the fear and uncertainty.

A standalone book that could easily have been made longer or part of a series. An absolute must for a book club as there's a multitude of topics for discussion but if you're getting cosy at home grab some snacks and enjoy.
