Hard Rain (In Japanese)

The cultural backdrop adds so much flavor and tension—I'm curious if the author has personal ties to Japan or did deep research for authenticity.

I loved how morally complex the main character was, but it also made me question what I would do in his place. Did others find themselves rooting for him despite his flaws?

The pacing felt intense, but I appreciated the moments of introspection. I wonder what guided the choices on how much focus to give each aspect.
