3.5 - Reviewing short story collections can be tricky due to the varying reactions each story can provoke. Takeout Sushi presents a range of slice-of-life tales that delve into amusing, relatable, and intriguing aspects of human behavior. The standout stories are both shocking and humorous, although some lack compelling points or plots.

Most narratives are set in Japan, offering perspectives from both natives and visitors. The writing style is direct yet engaging, effectively bringing scenes to life.

Each of the 17 stories is accompanied by an illustration, enhancing the reading experience. The cover art particularly caught my eye and drew me to the collection. Overall, I enjoyed my time with these stories and am grateful for the opportunity to review them, courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher.
