A review by sanamun
Asura Girl by Otaro Maijo

4.0

Not what I expected it to be, which is not a bad thing. It starts out as a thriller-type deal about a serial killer and a teenage boy's disappearance, before taking a rapid turn into surreal horror, shared conciousness, and a tangent about a Swedish girl named Kerstin who was previously introduced as the main character's alter ego. Its weird, and kind of confusing and hard to follow, but it (mostly) works. Aiko isn't exactly nice or even a particularly good person for most of the book, but I really liked her voice, and it feels pretty true to that of an unstable 17 year old.
