Lychee Light Club by Usamaru Furuya
4.0
dark sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated

I finally read it! I was a fan of the play back in 2016 and have seen the movie too. Both the play and the movie follow the story very very faithfully. It was nice finally getting another book in Japanese read. 

There was an extra scene in this which I have never seen in either version and for good reason because it was absolutely fucking horrifying and related to a child (an actual child, not a middle schooler like the rest of the cast).

Definitely trigger warning in here for child mutilation, murder, sexual assault, and graphic depictions of violence.
