Go by Kazuki Kaneshiro

4.0

It wasn’t what I expected it to be, but I got hooked fairly quickly. Much like a tv drama, there are flash backs, lots of fighting and some quick moments of romance. I’m not someone who enjoys any form of violence, though sometimes I get drawn in by sociological factors. Such as this book. It really targets the deep racism that can be found in Japanese society, (as this book was written in the 2000’s I really hope that there has been a change to that). I cried a couple times, and was completely heartbroken by the discrimination that Sugihara and Jeong-il as well as many of the other characters go through. I was so utterly invested in the characters.
There were some times that the characters frustrated me, but I think that’s because they weren’t the perfect characters going through hardship. They felt very real, and they were flawed. I really recommend reading this!
