No wonder he's Keigo Higashino's idol! The masterpiece of suspense master Matsumoto Seicho! A suspense classic among romance novels, a love bible among suspense novels.
The novel begins with the encounter, acquaintance, and passionate love between Onoki and Raiko, and takes readers bit by bit into a maze of love and hate. It seems like two people in love blindfolded, until everything is irreversibly destroyed.
What the novel really explores is: What can we do in the face of a love that is doomed to despair?
Reader comments
The early reading experience is very good, the perspective switching is just right, and the relationship between the characters slowly unfolds. The process is comfortable and attractive. The ending is a relatively typical Japanese ending, but it actually lacks integrity in the character line. Although this will not affect the emotional line of the male and female protagonists, it does affect the viewing experience. Overall, as a sad love story, it is good. Suspense is an element, serving the sad love between the male and female protagonists.
In addition to the detailed descriptions of each character's perspective, what impressed me most was the description of the scenic spots. It can even be called a travel encyclopedia of Japan. I am a little regretful about the ending, but it also verifies the title of the book "Forbidden Love". Perhaps incompleteness is beautiful.
Much better than those articles about cultivating immortals
Wouldn't it be something new if the two of us face each other in the coming days? Raiko must be full of guilt for Onoki, right? But her departure seemed to extinguish Onoki's only hope of living. Perhaps this is the unique effect of Japanese sad love. It is this unsatisfaction that makes readers uncomfortable.
The story is plain, with ups and downs; different characters coincidentally intersect in certain places... However, the ending is inexplicably sad.
It turned out to be a tragedy. It's so sad. Isn't it good to be together? 😔
The plot of this book is like Mount Fuji, seemingly peaceful but with hidden undercurrents. The author's writing style is delicate and nuanced, making me feel as if I was actually there during the reading process. The love in the story is both sweet and suspenseful, making people want to put it down. It is truly a masterpiece!
Personally, I don't think Raiko loves Onoki. .
The emotional line between Onoki and Raiko...
At the beginning, I really couldn't understand the relationship between Raiko and Onoki, and it was a bit suspenseful. However, as the story progressed, the author closely connected the protagonists through a corruption incident, including Koukako's father, Yusei, Doi, Onoki, Raiko, Koukako, etc. It suddenly became clear when I read the story halfway through, but I didn't expect the ending to be so tragic and Raiko to be so beautiful. A kind-hearted person chose to commit suicide in Mount Fuji, but it has to be said that this is traceable. He married a man who was not doing his job and acted as a matchmaker between businessmen and government officials. Raiko was also helpless. He was extremely disappointed in her husband, but at the same time he maintained his kindness, just like he liked to wear white clothes. However, this unfortunate marriage cast a shadow on his life. Raiko was disappointed with his marriage, and also implicated Onoki. I must feel guilty for Onoki. Self-commitment may be a kind of relief. It is also tragic to form this person, but it is also self-inflicted. Compared with Onoki and Raiko, the ending is still good. He can still be chic after going out. He may not be able to adapt without Raiko, but who cares about this scumbag, my Raiko, she is really like a sparkling pearl, people's white moonlight, and what will be the life of Kookako and that reporter?
It's good. I have a little understanding of Japan in the 1960s.
Very interesting story!
Laiko's ending is very sad. Such a beautiful and pitiful woman just didn't marry the right person. Her departure may be good for Ono.
He is indeed Keigo Higashino's idol, I simply can't stop
The characters are lifelike, but the ending is too sudden and unexpected, which is very depressing!
What a pity, Raiko and Onoki still can't be together. Why can't they have more courage and determination?
