A Japanese Schoolgirl - Kindle Fiction

A Japanese Schoolgirl
by Yoko Kajihara

A sixteen-year-old schoolgirl Luna Suzuki lost her best friend Yukio. And she believes that he was murdered. Searching for the suspect, Luna comes to uncover dark Japanese psychology lurking deep in her closest friends and encounter with a Japanese Kendo master, an American investment banker, a Yakuza boss, and a foreign researcher who is studying untouchable of Japanese society.

Before long she faces unfamiliar scenes in which distinctions are eroded between sexual perversion and moral decency, cruelty and compassion, seduction and innocence, deception and honesty. In the process she finds out that those closest friends are all connected with the death of Yukio, that they share some murky secret with the victim, and that they would do anything to prevent it from leaking out.

Driven by her insatiable curiosity to uncover the secret, Luna undertakes a dangerous mind game by which she takes all of them to the edge of self-destruction. But the last truth sealed deep in the secret is still totally beyond the reach of her imagination.

Masquerading as a murder mystery, this is a new breed of dark and hilarious satire about postmodern Japanese society and adolescence. Reading A Japanese Schoolgirl is seeing Japan you have never heard of.
