The lyrical beauty of the prose contrasted perfectly with the brutal things happening.
A pretty decent - albeit rather disturbing - read if you can get past the insane level of men-writing-women
Kid with and Oedipus complex gets mad that his role model stops being a blackpilled and jokerfied sigma male.

Good book with interesting lessons on masculinity. Loved the ending.
Mishima's writing is absolutely mesmerizing. The characters were also very well formed, and each one of them had a distinctive voice. Although I wasn't completely on board with the plot of the novel, Mishima has definitely intrigued me as an author. I look forward to reading more works by him.

The moment the gang killed the cat I knew what was going to happen at the end lol. Still a great book, appreciate the writing and how ironic Ryuji’s death was; being murdered like a kitten by a group of kids when he thought he was some sort of a chosen one destined for big things. The very last sentence of the book broke my heart though.
