These stories have dark tragic plots and voices, I stopped expecting truly happy-ending. The Confessions is one of those novels, and with relatively shorter length than previous Japanese thrillers that I've read, this novel keeps the tense stable.

You won't believe the twist that's coming.All in all, I enjoyed this book. If you’re looking for a good Japanese psychological thriller, then go for it! Weak people find even weaker people to be their victims. And the victimized often feel that they have only two choices: put up with the pain or end their suffering in death. But they’re wrong. The world you live in is much bigger than that. If the place in which you find yourself is too painful, I say you should be free to seek another, less painful place of refuge. There is no shame in seeking a safe place. I want you to believe that somewhere in this wide world there is a place for you, a safe haven.”

Se articula en torno a seis capítulos narrados en primera persona por los personajes principales. Cada capítulo con título alusivo a quién lo va a protagonizar. El primero y el último corresponden a la misma persona. Esos seis capítulos nos presentan las distintas caras del mismo poliedro. Vamos a conocer la perspectiva y motivaciones de la madre de la víctima, de los asesinos, de sus familiares y de sus compañeros de clase. Un mosaico muy completo que se superpone en el tiempo. Me parece perfecto y es una manera de que los jóvenes valoren y respeten más la labor de los mayores. Naoki Shimomura, Student B, becomes a shut-in because he believes he has contracted AIDS from drinking the contaminated milk. His mother realizes her son was involved in Manami's death and decides to commit murder-suicide to free both of them from their torment. However, in the ensuing struggle, Naoki kills his mother and the police arrest him. Meanwhile, Shuya explains that his mother abused him before leaving to pursue her scientific career. Her abandonment drove him to thrive in science, from making small inventions to recording his killing and dissecting of animals.

The story starts with a pretty simple event. What you're completely unprepared for is that such a simple act will spiral completely out of control into an incredibly twisted series of events. You see...this is one of those movie that will tell (relatively) the same story from different angles and perspectives. That bit may throw some people off, but I promise it all makes sense if you're paying attention. And you should be paying attention, because watching the whole thing unravel is a hell of a lot of fun.

Each new chapter completely changes what you thought you knew previously, which is why I was wholly engaged right up to the final sentence. True, much of it reads like a novel conceived and written by an eighth-grader, but then they are the central characters here and while not everything that goes through their minds -- or that they put into practice -- is plausible, at least it feels reasonably age-appropriate. The next section is an account by Naoki's sister, relying also extensively on their mother's diary entries -- in which the mother proves herself entirely deluded about her son, and refuses to see him as having done anything wrong, despite knowing of his role in the death of Manami. iyamisu adalah genre psychological thriller yang menonjolkan sisi gelap sifat manusia.
