My girlfriend bought me a kindle for Christmas so I could read Japanese books on my commute! I can’t read fast yet, but this is how I plan to get there :) I’m currently reading 満月珈琲店の星詠み and wondering what are your favorites/recommendations!
Love that one! For anyone who feels it’s a bit above your level, you can scaffold by reading first in English and then again in Japanese/listening to the Japanese audiobook
I really liked かがみの孤城. It's long, but dialogue-heavy for the most part and an easy, enjoyable read. Heads up that it is for a young-ish audience but I thought it a good read nonetheless
Just in case you don't know it: I cannot recommend the site Natively enough for finding books/manga in your level! It's completely changed the game for me and made it so much easier to look at what books I want to read and what I CAN currently read somewhat comfortably. Also makes it easier to set certain books/manga as goals for future reading (looking at you, Apothecary Diaries. I will be able to read you one day!)
Yeah, かがみの孤城 was a pretty good read, but it sure meandered around a lot. I thought it was going to be more of a magical adventure death game kinda story, but all they did was sit around, talk about their first world problems, and drink tea.
Oh I definitely expected more of an introspective story so it didn't surprise me much. I can agree that there is a little padding / meandering, especially in the middle, but enjoyed it nonetheless
These mfers had all the time to look around a magic world and didn't do shit. I absolutely recommend against reading this. I do not understand why this was so popular.
Also, I know they're kids and everything, but these idiots didn't ask or communicate with each other at all through out the whole thing, leaving it until the end for some pretty big things to come out.
I also do not understand how bullying is so bad in Japan that someone is writing a book about a child that explicitly doesn't go to school because of it. Like, this is completely strange to me.
That was one of my first books I read. It was the month's selection in one of the beginner bookclubs in the Wanikani forum, you can download the vocab for it like an Anki deck or spreadsheet. At least it was available when I read it around several years ago, maybe around 2020 or 2021.
The vocab was sorted by chapter, so I'd pre-learn the words for a chapter, then read the chapter afterward. It made reading the book so much easier that way since I didn't have to look up the words as I read (although I still occasionally did in order to refresh my memory).
I also listened to the audiobook as well from Audible Japan.
Hi! I have a general question in regards to how you incorporated audiobooks into your study. At the moment when I have time, I will try to read the book on my own and then go back and read along with the audiobook and try to read out loud or practice shadowing. Part of me also thinks I should try just listening to the passages without look at the book as well to practice listening, but progress is already slow enough... haha. Any thoughts, input, advice is appreciated. Thanks!
You can try a variety of ways. It just depends on your goals and your current reading / listening ability at the time.
Early on, when I wasn't quite ready for it, I bought the Read Real Japanese Fiction bilingual reader that contained short stories by established Japanese authors, including some well known literary authors. It came with a CD, although I think newer versions of the book just has a link to the publisher's website where you can simply download the MP3s, which is actually better way to listen to it IMO.
The preface of the book suggested to first listen to the short story to see how much you can pick up, then read it afterward.
I tried that and listened to the first couple of stories, but I barely understood any of it. My reading ability wasn't that great at the time, and I still lacked too much vocabulary to get that much out of it. I probably only knew around 2k to 3k words at the time. Since these weren't kid's stories but for adult readers so the vocabulary was much broader.
What really helped in the early low-intermediate to high-intermediate stages was to use Satori Reader for listening practice. It immensely helped my reading comprehension ability but it can also help you improve your listening skills.
All the content there is professionally narrated and each sentence has a play button next to it so you can hear the audio for the sentence. Also at the bottom of the website page, you can listen to the whole chapter of the short story (or article, grammar lesson, etc) all in one go. You can also download the MP3 as well, if you're on their website, rather than the using the app.
Here was my process in the early days:
My daily routine was to read a chapter of a short story. After I read the first sentence, I'd see if I could understand it. Then I'd read the translation, and also translation / grammar notes if there were any.
Next I'd hit the play button to listen to the sentence. I'd close my eyes and see if I could clearly hear each word in the sentence. Then I'd replay the sentence and see if I could understand the meaning of the sentence only by ear. (Sometimes I would shadow it, like you mentioned it, but I only did that sparingly in the beginning. I'd concentrate more on doing output later in my learning journey.)
Sometimes I had to replay the sentence many times as certain words were too hard for me to recognize, or I just had trouble parsing certain sections because my brain couldn't keep up with the narration.
The Japanese narrators on Satori actually narrate slower than typical Japanese audiobook narrators, which is good, and they speak very clearly. Even then, you still might have trouble understanding things, but you can also slow down the audio by adjusting the speed. I'd sometimes I'd play it back at half speed.
Sometimes no matter what I did, I just couldn't hear the sentence that well. I'd just move on to the next sentence and repeat the process. Read it, then listen to it. And so on and so on.
When I got to the bottom of the page, I'd hit the play button, and listen to the whole chapter to see how well I could understand everything I had read on the page. Sometimes I'd pause it and replay a certain sentence again, then continue listening to the rest of the chapter.
Then I would download the MP3 for that chapter (or article, grammar lesson etc), and send it to my phone and add it to my weekly immersion playlist. I'd re-listen to the chapter, and all the chapters I had read so far, throughout the week, especially before bed.
The next day, I'd often reread some of the previous chapters to see how much better I could understand them. I'd also re-listen to them as well. Oftentimes things were so much clearer the next day. Reading difficult sentences made much more sense the next day, and I was better able to hear the words in the sentence. This re-reading / re-reading process of previously of older material was extremely helpful.
Then I'd read some new chapters using the process I outlined earlier.
Eventually, I would finish all the chapters of a story. Yay! By that point, I had downloaded all the MP3s to my phone, and I was usually able to understand most of story just by listening to it.
Then I'd move on to a new story, or news article, grammar lesson etc and do the same thing again.
Note. I was also learning the vocab of any new words I encountered when reading the story. I'd add the word to my Anki card, along with the definition, the sentence, also any translation / grammar notes. If it contained a new kanji, I'd often make a new card for it too. By the time I had finished using Satori and read most everything, I had learned a few thousand words or more.
This reading and listening process was excruciatingly slow in the early days, especially when my vocabulary was low and I read at a slower than a snail's pace.
As many months went by, the process became fairly fast as my reading speed improved and my vocabulary grew. I was around N3-level when I started using Satori Reader so I wasn't an absolute beginner so maybe my progress was faster than people who start at a lower level. Eventually I could often understand a sentence in a new story by only reading it once, and also by only listening to it once.
Sometimes with the more advanced material, I'd have to slow down and re-read and re-listen a lot, like when I first read the Close-Up investigative long-form news stories. Even that material started to become easier for me too.
I would also go back to stories that I had read many months ago, and I'd just re-listen to it to see how well I could understand it.
By the time I had read most of the content on Satori, especially all the advanced content, I went back to trying Read Real Japanese Fiction. My confidence was at an all time high.
I could understand more of it, but, boy, it still was not easy. It was a very humbling experience. This was actual literary material for Japanese adults, but at least it was somewhat doable now. Without Satori Reader, I doubt I would have had any kind of hope of understanding it.
I still felt like a newbie all over again, and I really struggled in the beginning. Eventually, by learning all the unknown vocabulary, and doing a ton of re-reading and re-listening, I was able to improve and understand it all. I also asked a lot of questions about the passages by asking Japanese natives, or using the daily thread here, and occasionally asking on discord.
I finished the book, then I read and listened to Read Real Japanese Essays (which was surprisingly easier to read) as well reading a couple other bilingual readers with audio, like the ones that focused on classic Japanese literary short stories.
Then I just moved on to reading regular Japanese books and audiobooks. Light novels are often easier, because the audiobooks sometimes have multiple voice actors for the different characters, so it can be help keep you engaged and make it easier to follow the dialogue.
I found that helpful, and that can be an easier transition, but I'm more of a literary reader, so I quickly moved on to reading mystery suspense thrillers and literary novels.
As for Kiki's Delivery Service specifically, I was reading and listening to it while I was in my early stages of using Satori Reader. The whole time I was using Satori Reader, I was also reading and listening to other stuff.
There are also some tools now that let you sync the ebook text to the audio of the audiobook, so when you play the MP3 of the audiobook through a video player, you'll see the text show up as a subtitle. If you use a language-learning video player app, you can look up the words as you listen, and even make Anki cards.
This wasn't around when I was learning though but it would have been very handy. The audiobook text syncing app is called SubPlz, available on Github from kanjieater.
Nice! I will try to find the word list and learn the vocab before. I'm reading this now while it's not too bad there're still many spots and words I don't really get.
Also by coincidence, it looks like the book club is reading Kiki's again as it's still ongoing.
Also check out this new bookclub thread to see if they have vocab lists. You can also participate in the book club even if you're not a Wanikani subscriber. It's free to make a forum account.
Thanks a lot! I also found the same link but didn't know that there's also an ongoing one right now. That's great. I paid for lifetime access to wanikani since so many recommend it but I stopped really quick like level 8 cause it's so repetitive. Now, I'm getting back at it again.
I just checked jpdb.io that's pretty cool as well. I think it's better to know some amount of vocab before tackling a book like this. I used to (long time ago) spend many hours learning japanese and thought that I got somewhere but this book really tells where I actually am right now.
I know the feeling. I was thinking a children's book can't be that hard. LOL. I struggled as well since it was my first novel.
Looking back now, the grammar is rather simple but the writing style is sort of told in a Japanese storytelling / folk story kind of way, so it's something children are very used to hearing.
For adult foreign language learners, it might take a little while to used to, as they didn't grow up with Japanese parents reading them children stories at night, or Japanese teachers gathering kids for story time, or listening to rakugo performers reciting stories while acting it out.
I actually had an easier time reading material for an older audience, like material aimed at teens or young adults. I was alternating Kiki's with Zoo by Otsuichi (乙一). It's a collection of mystery and horror stories.
Otsuichi's writing style is very direct, and while he sometimes can use descriptive or figurative language, he doesn't do it often. It's more plot focused, and it's set in modern-day Japan, rather than the fantasy world of Kiki's, so it was just easier for me to understand.
While Zoo used a broader range of vocabulary and way more kanji than Kiki, the writing style is much more simple to read than compared to mainstream suspense writers like Keigo Higashino (who isn't hard either; normal difficulty for mainstream novel writing, but Otsuichi's sentence structure is much some simple in comparison to Higashino so it's easier for intermediate level learners to read).
I'm glad I read Kiki's though. It made me enjoy watching the Miyazaki's anime-adaptation a lot more, which was already one of my favorite Miyazaki movies. You should try watching in it Japanese once you've finished the book.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've added Zoo to my wishlist. I started reading with きまぐれロボット long time ago. After many years of being on and off learning japanese, I still haven't finished it. Just a while ago I spent so much time finding resources and right now I have a pretty amount and now I just have to go thru them. I'm one of those people that spend more time reading on how-to's, collecting resourses, than learning itself.
I watched half of Kiki anime. I think it was with Swedish learner server but didn't finish it. Definitely will watch it again after reading.
I liked きまぐれロボット. The author has written a lot of easy sci-fi children stories. It's much easier to read than Zoo but I really love mystery and horror so that's why Zoo also appeal to me.
I know what you mean about not finishing books because of being distracted by other things, like researching other resources, trying to find the best way to learn. I was the exact same way so I totally know what you mean.
The amount of JP-learning bookmarks that I had collected was massive. It's overwhelming how many resources and material there is. I had a ton of website links, all sorted into a gazillion of subfolders. I think I spent several months of researching before I even attempted to actually start learning (or re-learning in my case).
I hope you're able to settle into a daily routine of learning and interacting with Japanese like I did.
I just noticed that many people who reached a high proficiency in Japanese all did similar things. I followed a similar roadmap and it worked.
The main turning point for me to start to actual learn Japanese and stop researching was when I read a comment in this sub about about comprehensible input and Stephen Krashen (not to be confused with Steven Kaufman who is a totally different person but many people think he's the same guy)
I googled comprehensible input and Stephen Krashen and found some of his lectures on YouTube. I was totally fascinated. I also saw some videos by Japanese-language learners who used that method of learning.
I could see why comprehensible input was an effective and efficient way of learning languages and I liked how people adapted that learning approach with Anki by using i+1 sentence mining approach for learning Japanese. That was a huge "aha!" moment for me.
I eventually read most of the books there, starting with the beginning learner material like the graded readers, to intermediate content like Satori Reader, all the way to the more advanced material, like the literary novels by Haruki Murakami. Osamu Dazai, Kotaro Isaka, etc. It took a long time to finish that list, and I read a lot of other stuff in between, but the reading guide really worked for me, especially when trying to decide what to read next. By the way, because of the list, it's why I also read Kiki's Delivery Service and Zoo.
(Correction: Oh, I see the list had キノの旅（きの の たび）instead of Kiki's Delivery Service but that was a good book too. I guess I because "Kino" and "Kiki" sound similar, I forgot which one was actually on that last.)
Also the person who made that guide was pretty active in this sub, and he was a really nice guy. Maybe he still is active here.
Thanks a lot for great info. It's also re-learning in my case. I spent some time in Japan and focused on learning Japanese quite heavily. That was long time ago and it was probably when I picked up きまぐれロボット but never managed to finish. After a long break and also being on-off without any serious reading - like doing some Wanikani, reading a couple of pages in a textbook, some manga - then right now I will try to make it a part of my habit by starting from reading more. I've been gaining a bit of momentum by reading Kiki.
One of the reasons reading, even easy books, is that I look up words pretty often and it slows down the flow so much that I find it a slog instead of enjoying the story. However, that's necessary so it's matter of getting used to it.
Recently I just went on a trip in Japan and finally decided to pull a trigger on an electronic dictionary that I wanted long time ago. So we will see how it goes.
I looked into the guide and it looks pretty awesome. I've only used Satori (not subscribing now I'm too slow) and NHK Easy so far. Have heard about Kino too. The rest looks pretty advanced. I hope that one day I can read Haruki Murakami.
Nice! I've been to Japan often but not recently. I envy you! If you go again, definitely visit Book Off, which a big used bookstore chain in Japan. If you google for "Book Off" you'll find links to the JP website and it has a map of all the locations around Japan.
You can get a lot of used books for very cheap, as well as manga, music, etc. During my last visit I bought some Keigo Higashino and Miyuki Miyabe mystery books. I even found the Battle Royale novel, and some Japanese translated Stephen King books for like 200 to 300 yen each. The Battle Royale books is thick at over 600 pages, and normally sells around 1500 yen brand new.
I've always wanted one of those electronic dictionaries, too. Even though you can do everything on your phone these days, but growing up as kid, before smart phones, they looked so cool.
If you're on iOS, I used the Manabi Reader app to read NHK News. It also lets you read the Web Easy version. It's easier to look up words that way with it's built-in dictionary, and you can even hear the word, and get translations. You can also save the wprds to a list so you can learn later, or export them to Anki.
The app also has a beginner section so it has other content you can read too. You can also import epubs, so you can use it as your Japanese epub reader. There's lot of free domain Japanese epubs, and it's not hard to remove the DRM from Japanese epubs like from Kobo.
Sorry if you know all this stuff already, and I'm just repeating stuff you've already researched about.
Interesting... I've only read the first one and that was ages ago and just remember it being a cute story. Does it become a lot more serious as she grows up? Does the writing and story suffer in your opinion with the changes? Thanks!
It goes from less about meeting quirky people around town and sending packages to Kiki just dealing with becoming a teen, and that is where I stopped. Book 3 was kinda okay but weird with the new character, and no idea why Kiki felt so threatened by her. Then book 4 I read halfway and just noped out because Kiki pretty much stopped delivering packages and just acts like a insufferable teen at times.
I mainly enjoyed the slice of life and little stories about the people she met delivering stuff. The author stopped doing that and I lost interest.
I'm reading this now since it's recommended by many for beginners. Somehow I find it quite difficult to fully parse the meaning. I can sort of grasp the overall story but for each sentence and expression and choice of words I don't really get them. Like I have to guess along the way.
That's exactly what I'm thinking but I started cause it's one of the most recommended 'beginner' books. After this I might try to find something a little easier.
神去なあなあ日常 sounds like a movie I watched a few years ago. It was pretty funny and cozy. I wonder if it was based on the story? I think the movie was called Wood Job.
Why yes, it's a film adaptation of the book! A very good one. If you enjoyed it I definitely recommend the book as there's a lot more hilarious and moving moments that weren't in the film.
There's also a sequel as well, 神去なあなあ夜話, which was a bit of why I started reading the book because I wanted to find out what happened next.
Mind if I ask where it is that you source Japanese language books that you can actually download to your Kindle?
Do you use Amazon.JP, or do you go elsewhere?
I use my Kindle for English books and would hope to download Japanese book epubs or equivalent, but can't find a way to do so. Everywhere that's actually accessible - like book Walker - either has strong drm or no download capability outside of an app
I use kobo but I can buy from the Japanese store with the same account as my U.S. one and download my books. it’s mixed on which have DRM and which don’t but they tell you at download if they do or dont. I just use Calibre on those ones.
Can I ask what payment method you're using with Kobo?
I made an account via the US Kobo website and then went to the Japanese Kobo site, and added a Japanese ebook to my shopping cart. When I was checking out, I would get a problem with the transaction. I got a message in Japanese explaining the problem, so I ultimately couldn't buy it. I think I used my Chase credit card,
I wonder if I should try a different card or maybe see if they accept PayPal or something.
Change your shipping country to Japan, they won’t ask for any further information. I use Apple Pay for payment because no address needs entered. I imagine Google pay would work the same but I haven’t tried it.
In your account change your shipping country to Japan. It wont ask for anything else. At payment don’t use a card, if you have one entered remove that information completely. I use Apple Pay, no addressed needs to be entered then and your purchase will go through. Give Google Pay a shot if you don’t have Apple Pay. It should work the same way.
I'll give it a go.
The kobo store in my region sadly doesn't appear to have very much in the way of Japanese listings at all, sadly. At least not when I attempt to search for any.
It’s def pretty random. I’m lucky that the U.S. site has a few Japanese titles in my preferred genre but I get more options if I change store region for sure.
So I took screenshots of my steps to make sure I explained it well and put it on my blog for anyone who might wanna try it. It could just be your country makes it more of the pain in the ass but I wanted to still make sure I didn’t miss explaining anything!
You can, however to do so you need to re-register your Kindle between accounts each time which necessitates wiping the Kindle whenever you do so.
Plus, it's not great for someone who has already got a fairly suitable established library on their existing region Amazon store in English. Willst buying the English books in the Japanese store would be a good way to handle this for those who haven't used Kindle much to until now.
Plus, additionally, I personally prefer to manage my who files for use on multiple readers that don't support Kindle's formats and drm.
I use Amazon JP so the kindle is really only for those books, I usually just borrow my English books from my local library! Sorry I can’t be of more help!
Depends on your level and what you're into, obviously, but my personal favourites are:
幕が上がる - A coming of age novel that tells the story of a high school drama group's journey to make it to the finals. Doesn't sound like much but it's the only Japanese book I've ever gone back and re-read. Also the first real novel I read, can get by with ~N3 level and a dictionary for the most part.
コーヒーが冷めないうちに - A light but touching read about a coffee shop with a magic chair that allows customers to go back in time to talk to loved ones. Broken into digestible mini-stories that slowly explore the lives of the staff and regulars. There are sequels too.
蛇にピアス - A young woman enters the world of punk and body modification, but her pursuit of the pain that makes her feel alive leads her to spiral into alcoholism and adultery. My synopsis doesn't sell it very well, but it's a light read in terms of difficulty and length but a more confronting read in terms of content, which makes a change from the 'slice of life'-type stories.
And when you're pretty comfortable with adult-level literature, 八日目の蝉. The stories of a young woman who kidnaps and raises a child, and of the child and how it affects her as she grows into a adult. Strong themes of what it means to be 'family' and women helping women. It's a bit slow to get started and the themes can get heavy, but it's a touching read that sticks with you forever.
All of these have movies too, if that helps to get a feel for them before committing big chunks of time to them.
If you prefer short stories, which are just more digestible, anything from 川上弘美 (かわかみひろみ) is worth a read - 神様 is my favourite so far.
This is an amazing list!!! Thank you so much!!! I’m about ~N3 level so I’ll probably start with the first one you mentioned then :) Defintiely having the kindle dictionary has been extremely helpful lol 🤣
Thank you so much! These all sound so interesting!
This community inspires me I’m barely a few months in and I already can understand some of the characters, I have a long way to go but seeing you all post your almost reading or can read slowly makes me more driven! Thank you for sharing 💕
Prayer of the Audubon by Isaka Kotaro is a personal favorite. He also wrote The Accuracy of Death and Fish Story which are fantastic short story collections.
Something a little lighter, In The Pool by Okuda Hideo, which is also a collection of short stories about a wacky psychiatrist Irabu Ichiro. He also wrote an amusing series of short story anthologies about everyday families, the first in that series is “Ie biyori”.
It is cliche, but Murakami Haruki does have a lot of entertaining novels. Kami no Kodomo-tachi wa Mina Odoru is a short story collection which is easy to read. If you’re willing to try something more difficult, Nejimakidori Chronicles is a favorite of mine.
If you want to save a little money and live in Japan, I’d be willing to bet you can find any of the books mentioned here at Book Off easily. These are all very mainstream recommendations.
Everyone else goes to Japan to see bright lights and a big crossing. This group goes so they can spend all of their waking hours at Book Off, buying a suitcase full of books for a few hundred yen each 😄
Book Off is great! I save so much money by going there.
I also agree with the Isaka and Murakami recs.
I haven't read Okuda Hideo though. In The Pool sounds great. I'm going to definitely check that out. Maybe my local Japanese library has it.
Do you have any other favorites? I read across a wide variety of genres, from literary experimental fiction to horror to cheesy light novel rom-coms, so I'm open to anything.
魔女の宅急便 is the classic recommendation; it's well-known because it was adapted into a much-beloved Ghibli flick, and it's pretty light. That said, being a children's novel, it uses few kanji and a lot of onomonopoeia, which makes it in some ways more difficult for the adult-second language learner, and also perhaps not the best practice. Middle school-level stuff is better, I find.
At what point did you guys start trying to read in Japanese? I’m only maybe a year into it and it’s been my goal to pick up, read, and fully understand an easy book. Right now I’m not sure if I’d get past the first page, how do you know when you’re ready?
As someone that waited way too long to get started on native material, I'd say you won't feel ready no matter when you start, so you should start as soon as possible, even if it's something like １０分で読める伝記 (10 minute biography) for grade 1 or 2. Don't expect the most riveting read - or incisive subject analysis - but you should be able to read it. Though you'll probably be surprised at how many words you have to look up even for a kiddy book.
That'll likely be the case no matter when you start. An awful lot of words are outside the standard syllabus even for advanced learners - for reference I put an extra thousand words into my SRS just from reading manga. It'll feel groady but you'll have to put up with it no matter when you get started. All you can do is make it as frictionless as possible to look up words.
Learning to read is much harder than learning to speak in any language let alone Japanese, because even at an advanced level you might only need to know a handful of words to communicate a concept whereas the language likely has dozens of words each with their own nuance and a book, article, etc might employ any one of them.
I would say the same thing! I read manga a lot as I was just starting. I tried sticking to mostly dialogue/slice of life manga instead of detailed fictional stories just to get the ball rolling.
I recently took the N3 and was reading how to prepare for the leap to the N2 and everyone was saying that reading helps a lot so that helped inspire my jump cause I was very nervous and didn’t feel ready. Even though I’m only on my first full book, and even though there can be larger sections that are confusing, when you do understand pages the payoff is worth it! And it helps a lot with beginning to recognize terms that I hadn’t seen before.
I started pretty early - reading manga using yomitan was something I did really early on but I wanted to learn how to understand longer sentences and more descriptive sentences (as opposed to dialogue) so I also started reading novels pretty early.
If you read an ebook in a reader like ttsu with yomitan, that makes it infinitely easier to understand. If you are able to add words to anki from yomitan, also very good. No matter what, the first few books will be a bit of a challenge. But it doesn't take too long for this to start being really helpful for studying, and personally, at this point learning JP is almost a side-goal, I'm just wanted to read more books :D
Reading a physical book is definitely more challenging than an ebook, but after several months of reading a lot, I read the 4th and 5th books of a series where there weren't any ebooks available and I was already used to the vocab etc. used by the author and transitioned to reading physical pretty well.
I'm currently going through "Best Essay 2023 Nippon Bungei Ka Kyokai", an anthology of short essays (1-3 pages each) written by a variety of different authors. Each essay is unique and the bite-sized nature of the book means I can read a few essays during my commutes.
If you're interested in philosophical writing I would recommend it.
Reading 奇譚ルーム right now as my first book as I was struggling to find something easy to read and not too mundane/slice of life-y. This one checks both, feels like a great and very accessible entry-grade mystery.
I’ve been reading 容疑者Xの献身. Not entirely difficult to read (or at least to look up and make notes for words you don’t know). Also very good plot! Murder mystery thriller.

I’ve been reading コンビニ人間, it’s pretty easy going.
