🔽 Book review and notes 🔽 I was attracted to the Italian title of this book "La ragazza del Kyushu", a girl from Kyushu - just like me she's from Kyushu but her revenge is something a lot more unique. A girl from Kyushu goes to Tokyo to meet a popular lawyer to prove her brother's innocence, but he turned down because she didn't have money. Now that might have been rather common, but upon her brother's death in prison, she decides to go very far to perfect her revenge. A classic Matsumoto, the author doesn't go in details about anything other than her obsession and revenge, because nothing else matters, it's all about her madness. Oh and the lawyer, he should have realised earlier, his little mistakes accumulate and he's too proud, he's now completely trapped. Bad people get punished by the society, and tough people survive, they are the classic characters from Seicho Matsumoto.
