A review by bookwormdaily
Kappa by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa

adventurous challenging dark fast-paced

4.0

 

“Whatever we may say, in order to live out our Kappa lives to the fullest . . .” Then he added in a small voice, as though slightly embarrassed, “In any case, we must believe in the power of something or someone greater than us Kappas.”

this is my first Akutaga’s book and i enjoy it so much. inspired by Japanese myth, this book shows the social themes and principles that are very different from what i believe but also gives a new perspective that brings more clarity in life. it is such an enjoyable reading experience to be able to explore the world of Kappa and i love their uniqueness. felt like a satire story but with very adorable creatures.
