About this listen

THE ORIGINAL NOVEL THAT INSPIRED THE CULT CLASSIC FILM BY SATOSHI KON

Kirigoe Mima is in the third year of her career as a pure and innocent pop idol. Feeling like something big needs to change, she plans to give her image a major update. When the new Mima is revealed--complete with a sexy outfit and a risque photo book--one of her most obsessive fans refuses to accept her transformation. To restore Mima to the innocent girl of her debut, he puts a terrifying plan to action that throws her life into chaos and mortal peril.

I love the anime film, so I was happy to listen to this book. However, don’t expect it to be a simple adaptation from page to screen. The anime takes it to a whole new level.

However, on its own, the book is an interesting look at obsession and idol culture with celebrities that’s still relevant today.

Shout out to the narrator. I thought they did a great job.

Anime is better than the book?
