Join us for an exciting meetup where we combine language exchange with exploring literature. This event is perfect for language enthusiasts and bookworms looking to enhance their language skills while discussing fascinating books.

This month, we will be discussing The Night of Baba Yaga by Akira Otani.

Fierce, mixed-race fighter Shindo has been kidnapped by the yakuza. After brutally beating most of them in an attempt to escape, she is forced to work as a bodyguard to protect the gang boss's sheltered daughter.

At first Shindo derides her naïvete but she becomes ferociously devoted to her. However, she knows that if things continue as they are, neither woman can expect to survive much longer.

Akira Otani's English-language debut is an explosive thriller that moves boldly across time and gender to tell an exhilarating story about devotion, violence - and getting free.

今月は、王谷晶著『ババヤガの夜』を取り上げます。

獰猛な混血の戦士、進道はヤクザに誘拐されてしまいます。逃亡を試みるもほとんどのヤクザを容赦なく殴り倒した後、彼女は組長の娘を守るためにボディーガードとして働くことを余儀なくされます。

進道は当初娘の純真さを嘲笑しますが、次第に彼女に激しく心を奪われていきます。しかし、このままでは二人とも長く生きられないことを悟ります。

王谷晶の英語デビュー作となる本作は、時間と性別を大胆に超え、献身、暴力、そして自由への道を描いたスリリングな物語を紡ぐ、衝撃的なスリラーです。
