Book Review: Stimulating stories from a different side of Japan
Summary: 5 Stars
This collection of magazine articles, translated and re-written in English come from the Mainichi Daily News, who have sourced them from Japan's weekly tabloid magazines. Each article exposes a truth about Japan that most would be surprised to hear. Stories about old age people and their sex lives, schoolgirls and their "compensated dating," or selling their used underwear. About Tax Officials and exclusive hostess clubs, stay at home loners and bored housewives, of corruption, perversion and down right weirdness. This is the real Japan. Not the Japan of Kyoto, Geisha or high-tech, but of real people and their perversions. It is a highly entertaining read.
Although now a little dated, they all ring true and are all still happening somewhere in the Land of the Rising Sun.
