What a strange book.
Spoilers ネタバレ:
Kawashima and his wife have a newborn. Trouble is Kawashima stands by their daughter's crib with an ice pick, talking himself out of stabbing her.
Yes, that's the premise. So to remedy this, Kawashima decides he'll grab the local prostitute and stab her (slowly) and watch her die, in the hopes of preventing himself from harming his daughter.
Turns out, he orders a woman who is as crazy as him. She likes pain, she likes sex (or used to), she likes piercing. (I guess pierced nipples aren't a thing in Japan?) There's plenty of miscommunication (did she read my murder-notes?) but ends up perfectly. One of the best endings ever. Maybe all Kawashima needs to do is change jobs.
Spoilers done ネタバレ完了.
With this one I'm only at 8. Need 10 translated books for the year to reach the Linguist level; not sure I'll make it! (Great cover, too.)
