This book was bananas. I wish there were a character list since it was translated. I’m not as familiar with the Japanese names and places. Overall, I enjoyed it, and you feel sympathy for Kajii, the one in the detention center who supposedly killed 3 of her partners. Honestly, I still don’t know if she did it. You also kind of hate her, and you feel the same range of feelings about Rika & Reiko.
