I enjoyed this, but what is with the words on the last 2 pages? Are they playing Shiritori? That kinda doesnt work if you translate the words and dont explain.

This is very healing to my heart. I really liked it.

That was kind of a mystery to me too at first. Shiritori is the first thing I checked for, but no, that's not it. However, I found out later (after the translation was already out) that they're listing kigo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kigo), specific season-themed words used in Japanese poetry.

Ah- cool, thanks for explaining :) I know about kigo but only in general not the specifics of what words you use in haiku beyond seasonal etc so i woulda never realised.
