@morae @Eve For all I joke, I do love Murakami's books. The detached male characters gave me the language to describe my dysphoria. I actually mentioned Creta Kano's emotional arc in my four-page coming out letter to my psychiatrist.

Anyway, that is to say, I should get a tramp stamp that says in Kanji "Murakami made me a girl" and tell people it means "Tired but strong."
