I'm finished with it and really enjoyed it. I'm glad you're liking it, AnotherCat and Bookworm_Girl.

I'll wait till you're both closer to finished to discuss spoilery plot things but I will say this taught me a bit about Japanese-Chinese conflicts. I don't know a lot about the subject and honestly did not know that pre-WWII Japan was invading and taking over parts of China. I do know a little about Japan and Korea's tense history, but I'd missed that similar things happened with China.
