[Extra Edition] Books and Manga That Left an Impression Last Year Ep.022
This is a special extra episode where we discuss the books that left the deepest impression on us last year. In these times when time for reading is limited in our daily lives, we passionately share the books and manga that left a lasting mark on our hearts after we finished them.
Dystopian novels make you think deeply.
The first title the personality mentions is "Sekai 99" by Sayaka Murata. The world where the protagonist "Sorako," who traces people around her to reshape her personality, lives, undergoes a transformation due to a certain ability. Although this is fiction, there is a scary and unsettling feeling that connects it to the reality we live in today, making me think deeply while reading it.
I encountered a shocking piece of nonfiction.
Next, I introduce a dystopian novel by Margaret Atwood. We also touch upon the much-talked-about "Katsuai Itadaki Joshi Riri-chan." I was particularly struck by the complex emotions the personality felt when reading this work. This book is packed with hints as to why people are strongly drawn to certain events.
Deeper discussions on the reading experience follow.
Each of the books introduced has the power to give you a different perspective after you finish reading them. Perhaps these works are skillfully picking up the ambiguous feelings that are difficult to put into words in our everyday lives. For the continuation of the book introductions and further deep analysis discussed in the main episode, please be sure to listen to the full show.
