Review

The protagonist falls into confusion as his appearance gradually changes after the brain transplant.
His appetite changed, and his calm personality changed to one where it was difficult to control anger.
He lost his talent and interest in painting, and his affection for his lover also disappeared.

In this chaos, the protagonist tracks down who the owner of the brain is.
The decision made by the protagonist after realizing everything later is a bit bitter.

I once reviewed this book in a book club.
I was curious about other people's opinions on whether it is 'me' or the 'owner of the brain' if you change your brain.

Recently, it was republished under the title Minor Change, and I like the title Minor Change because it seems to fit this work better.
I like it because it's a work with things to think about.
