The Girl Who Became a Fish Maiden's Bookshelf

Another spectacular collaboration from the Maiden's Bookshelf series, this dark and intense fable by the great giant of postward literature is brought to vivid life by contemporary master Nekosuke.

Suwa, a charcoal burner's daughter, lives together with her father in a small village at a foot of a mountain so remote it doesn't even appear on maps.

Slowly she comes to realize the dark futility of her life, leading to a strange and elliptical transformation...

Dazai depicts the adolescent awakening to death and the desire to escape through this quiet and ominous tale.

Dazai (1909-1948) was one of the most popular and unique writers of the immediate postwar period. An alcoholic and member of the so-called buraiha or Decadent School, an unofficial grouping that also included the great Ango Sakaguchi, Dazai left behind a brilliant and challenging literary legacy when he drowned himself in a lovers' suicide in 1948.

Illustrated professionally for various projects since 2015, including game apps, CD covers and books.
