One of the most achingly ‘90s pieces of media I have ever consumed. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone who is familiar with the existence of the film, whether or not they have seen it. I would recommend this book to someone who likes unsolvable mysteries and watching bad things happen to bad people.

An interesting story partly ruined by the authors weird choices. Although its pretty common to have casual/random violence against women in books written by Japanese male authors so it tracks I guess.
Also rest in piss Ryuji.

Literally a waste of my time.
The main characters "Friend" describes his VIVID recounting of the sexual assault a woman and it goes on for far too long and literally adds nothing to the story. And the main character just ignores is wife's pleas to not let him in the house because she's uncomfortable around him. Like WTF?


And then has the audacity to pick up the plot (Where essentially the movie starts at about 50%) and say okay here's the actual plot now have fun.
