Ryuji gave me the ick big time. Asakawa is also grotesquely spineless
for overlooking Ryuji’s confession about being a serial rapist
. Despite the sexism, transphobia, and general disgust I felt towards the characters, it was a really good read, imo. Suzuki’s writing style is interesting and while some of the content is offensive, the idea is interesting and well-executed enough to keep me reading through my digust.
After reading Spiral, you’ll definitely see further why Suzuki makes you hate Ryuji so throughly in this book.
