Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni First Impressions

Well then.

So finally I'll be reading this novel. If the title reminds you of a certain other novel, that's no coincidence, it's by the same author; Ryukishi07. Making this the last 07th Expansion novel I haven't read yet, so as you can probably imagine I'm very curious to see where this goes.

It's not particularly long, the entire thing seems to be about as long as two When They Cry episodes. I've literally only read these four screens (plus the translator's note of the *mesomeso*) so I might edit this post with more impressions later on.

    Well I suppose child rape could be handled in a way that shows the horrors or it and helps raise awareness and done in a... tactful way for lack of a better word.

    Hopefully it isn't just shock value or fetishized or something

    If it were any other author I'd be really worried they'd just use it for shock factor. But this guy I trust with handling it well.
