Don't trust my judgement on this, I like Murakami books too much

This second part of Killing Commendatore is even better than the first book and I can't really put my finger on the reason why exactly.

Obviously, there are pointers for me, mostly the way he writes his stories: - How he just casually talks about some minor off topic point at great length - The awkward sexual side plots (I don't actually like them, but I expect them and get weirded out) - Delivering everything like you'd think about it happening in the moment - Some plot points leading into nothing, things that seemed important not going anywhere - Nothing really happens, yet I enjoy exactly that every time - How the protagonist is very much in the story and not part of it at the same time - and many many more

That's the general, why I love Murakami books section. I think my brain just likes his writing, …

(Some spoiler alert) Solitude, beautiful girl/women, handsome and wealthy man, music, cooking, art, disappearing people/things...classic Murakami. There are so many parts/theme that reminded me of his past books (Wind-Up Bird, Dance, Dance, Dance, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World), it felt like I was reading a same story, just with different characters and setting. Which is not entirely a bad thing. But if you are looking for something different, you might be disappointed. I liked the fact the protagonist was an artist, rather than the old favourite, writer. Felt like there was some loose ends - especially on Menshiki - wonder if there is a third book???
