Ok now he’s writing about buying condoms. This one may be the most overtly sexual one he has written. We shall see

Man after all that build up and unnecessarily graphic reveal, if this guy leaves us hanging, I’m gonna be disappointed

Yeah as I expected this book is at the moment where things will get absurdly graphic. Pretty unnecessary, but it is a Murakami trope after all

Ok it’s pretty fun and entertaining to read even though not much has happened and not much progress has been made… but this guy is super dramatic, and it’s making me lol

This book is pretty simple. Very much a straightforward one where the main character has normal girl woes. Ironic because he also isn’t a very “Murakami” character. Prob bc it is from ‘92

Lol I thought I had read all of Murakami’s “modern” novels, but I guess I missed this one. I thought it was much older because I haven’t read much of his earliest stuff (has a completely different voice), but there’s a lot of mention of breasts and such, so I looked it up and yeah it’s from 1992 hahaha. Of course…
