INSTANT REVIEW: Kafka on the Shore, pg 1-106
Things I have noticed, so far:
- The main character wakes up covered in blood with no memory of why.
- A character has hemophilia, although unfortunately for my theory it is a different character.
- The book is foreshadowing that half of the main character’s “shadow” is shared with someone else, who hasn’t been the same ever since he went into a coma and lost his memory.
I therefore conclude that all post-2000 Japanese literature plagiarises Tsukihime.
