After graduating from the law faculty of Tohoku University, he worked as a system engineer. Isaka was born in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. I got out of it, spick and span, just like Ladybug.Kōtarō Isaka ( 伊坂 幸太郎, Isaka Kōtarō, born ) is a Japanese author of mystery fiction, best known for his Hitman novel/manga series, including Maoh: Juvenile Remix (2007–2009), the first of which, 3 Assassins (2004, Japanese 2022, English), was adapted as a Japanese feature film, Grasshopper (2015), and the second of which, Maria Beetle (2010, Japanese 2021, English), was adapted as an American feature film, Bullet Train (2022). It was fun but mainly because the movie was playing in my head the entire time I listened to the audiobook, so it had to slow down as things differentiating from the visual material I remembered.Īnyway, no harm, no foul. I probably sound very judgmental (and I definitely can be) but this is a case where my star rating is not all that's cracked up to be just like this book. Like I get it was whole shtick/personality, which don't get me wrong I did like, but at some point it does get a bit dragging, you know? I think being in his head for a majority of the book really got to me - I became like Elder Kimura where I wanted to rip this kid to shreds because he was so arrogant and superior than thou attitude.
My only grievance that really brought it down to 2 stars was the Prince's arrogance. The changes that was done from book to movie were definitely for the better - it became more cohesive and a lot more manageable to coincide with the whole "coincidence or fate"/"good luck or bad luck" concept. Maybe it was because I watched it before finding out there was a book? But I think even if I read this book first then watched the movie, I'd still prefer the movie. I need to re-watch the movie just to make sure, but yep, the movie felt more. I really did like the movie better - I know, I am just as shocked.
