A review by lxxo
Villain by Shūichi Yoshida

4.0

I love Japanese Literature. The stories are always more gritty and realistic to a point where you can relate to almost everything.

Straight away your drawn into having to know more.

Some points the book did go a little slow but it was only because I was on edge of wanting to know what would happen next to these characters. Some seedy, some normal, a mix of everyone that adds a great difference.

Please dont read this next bit if you haaaaaate spoilers. I reveal a little bit.

Spoilerto me this book did have some sort of twist only due to believing it was a one off. When Yuichi says that one line I straight away went 'Shit...'


Great story and a great plot. The danger of online dating with a pinch of everyday life, the friends who worry, the family who are hidden away from the truth and the seedy sex along with it.

A great read for anyone who loves Japanese literature, culture difference books, gritty realistic novels that show the true side of life rather then the disney side of it like some books.
