“Narratage” (Novel) - Summary and Review

[ratfratz.livejournal.com]

Hey! So I just finished my first novel in Japanese, Shimamoto Rios „Narratage“. As some of you may know, this is the novel Matsujuns new movie is based on. Since there is close to no information about the story available in english as far as I know (other than „a teacher has a relationship with a student“), I thought I could write a more detailed summary of the plot for the people who are interested.

Please keep the following things in mind:

This is about the novel, not the movie! (The movie might and propably will be different at some points).

This is what I remember from the novel. I might have forgotten things or even misunderstood them completely because Japanese is not my first language.

More than a summary, I might write with too much detail and interpretation so…I hope it’s still easy to read.

There will be spoilers (of course), so I divided it up in parts, from „light spoilers“ to „severe spoilers“ as the plot goes on.
