Warning: don’t get attached/invested in Suzuki’s characters long-term. Overall, a good follow-up to ring. I especially liked the inclusion of puzzles and scientific images/discussion; made the book feel more interactive. The ending slightly disappointed me, but that’s likely more to my own biases & desired outcomes, rather than any plot weakness.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Child death, Grief
Minor: Transphobia

Ryuji gave me the ick big time. Asakawa is also grotesquely spineless for overlooking Ryuji’s confession about being a serial rapist . Despite the sexism, transphobia, and general disgust I felt towards the characters, it was a really good read, imo. Suzuki’s writing style is interesting and while some of the content is offensive, the idea is interesting and well-executed enough to keep me reading through my digust. After reading Spiral, you’ll definitely see further why Suzuki makes you hate Ryuji so throughly in this book.
