This is supposed to be a semi-autobiographical account of the incident, the first unfinished version coming only two years after the incident.

The work follows the trajectory of Issei’s crime, the narrative sprouting in an interview at the detainment prison, boiling into a treatment of the crime from a month before the incident to spine-chilling descriptions of the homicide, cannibalization, and necrophilia.

The treatment of his crime is much more humane and non-commerical in this piece, as compared to his later works such as 'Manga Sagawa-San.'

Deeply disturbing, I would recommend this to true crime and confessional lovers who want a less 'perverted' account of the incident that propelled Sagawa into a para-social status that tainted other tellings of the tale.
