意味

The impression or feeling left by a book after finishing it; one's overall response to a work of literature upon completion.

A noun formed from 読後 (after reading: 読 read + 後 after) and 感 (feeling, impression). It captures the emotional and intellectual residue a text leaves with its reader — similar to an 'afterglow' but encompassing critical assessment as well. Frequently used in book reviews, literary criticism, and reading journals. 読後感を書く (to write down one's impressions) is a common school assignment in Japan.
