An enjoyable story with well-written characters and dialogue. Not quite what I expected when I started, but still worth the read.

This was a fun read based on such a simple premise. The author's writing was so vivid that it was easy to imagine the walk that this girl was on. The literary references were a nice touch, as well.

If you like reading translations from the Japanese in the style of Haruki Murakami, but with a more lighthearted touch, you'll enjoy The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl. Mystical, magical occurrences are interwoven with slice-of-life moments in this story of the titular "girl" and the enamored young man who pursues her romantically. If you have visited or are familiar with some of the real-life locations in Kyoto mentioned in the book, it will help make to make your reading of the story even more vivid. Will girl notice boy, or will she keep walking? You'll have to read to find out!
