Thank you for this giveaway. I enjoyed your review of “Villain” and think I would enjoy reading it. Thanks again.
I’m just discovering Japanese Lit. I’ve read Murakami’s Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World and Higashino’s The Devotion of Suspect X. Both were very interesting for very different reasons. I’d like to give this one a shot. Thanks!

Would love to read this book – Impressed with the cover (always a big thing for me) and looks like a great read!
This book sounds like something I’d greatly enjoy! Thanks for the giveaway!
Like you, I love a good Japanese thriller 🙂 This one must be hanging around somewhere on my to-read list… and I’m pretty sure I’ve got you in my feed (but I’m usually a really bad blogger and commentor :s)! Thanks for choosing this book for your giveaway (and for giving it away of course :D)
Good for you for joining the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop. I’m an avid reader, book reviewer, and blogger, too, so whenever I can snatch up a free book, it helps with my review process.Aside from that, I’m a bibliophile and hoard books, hiding them in my closet for safekeeping.
“Villain” looks dark…and I sound like I might resonate with the character, Mitsuyo. But, I was taken with the description: “Villain is a coolly seductive story of loneliness and alienation in the southernmost reaches of Japan.”
Here’s to hoping I win! See you at the end of the hop.
Thanks!
