I posted the below in this thread about this news post.
They have released the two LNs. The second LN is a series of short stories. I really, really, really wish that Ko Hiratori had continued the story; the short story "Mom" is nothing less than mind blowing. Seriously. I wonder if "Mom" has inspired any fanfiction in Japan? These two light novels emphasize the need for understanding cultural anthropology when trying to navigate foreign literature. In "JK Haru" Hiratori repeatedly has Haru explicitly state that girls/women are a lower class than men. Yet -- at least in terms of social interactions -- the social norms are Japanese social norms. If you do not know cultural anthropology, then you will not realize that Ko Hiratori is using "JK Haru" to comment upon the endemic sexism in Japanese culture. Have any other works by Ko Hiratori been released in English? |
