Masterpost: Waiting at Tuberose Summary
As I read through Tuberose, I was thinking it'd be nice to keep a summary going of the things that happen through out the book. This is not a translation, just a summary. I couldn't and I'm not trying to maintain Shige's writing style, but if you're curious to know about the general plot then I hope this is helpful to you!
