Really great review! Hope sometime we can get a "JK Haru is a Sex Worker in Another World" review.

You're welcome! This is one of my favorite books I've read recently, and the ending is really something. That definitely made this one of the harder reviews I've written as well, because I was trying so hard not to spoil it... LegitPancake, both Theron and I are interested in reviewing it, but there were concerns that it was too explicit. It's an amazing book, though - not only a satire of the usual isekai tropes directed at the usual audience, but it also feels like a fairly accurate depiction of working in the sex industry. Pharmboy23 and here-and-faraway, I really recommend it. |

Is it Yuri or just teenage literature for girls in the old-fashioned Class S style? I love Mari Okada and since she wrote the script for the live action adaptation, it became interesting to me.

Just good old-fashioned Class S-style. While there's one perspective that has some yuri to it, it's just incidental. |

Well, I just finished this and it was really great. I figured some twists out, they aren’t really hidden per se, but there was no way I could have seen the actual ending. It was much better than what I thought it was barreling toward (although that would have been just as grim).
One thing though - did anybody else get the impression that spoiler[they, uh, actually ate Itsumi at the end? It is strongly implied by a sentence or two at the end...]. Yoiks. Great dark fall read, really great. |
