Pro
-
This is another book by the author of the current IBC pick (あなたも殺人犯になれる) but in a different genre some curious blend of comedy/yakuza action/high school
-
It seems a similar readability to あなたも殺人犯になれる from the first chapter
-
There was a famous film made of it in 1981, and a couple of TV series
-
There is an audible audiobook version

There is also a 角川つばさ文庫 version with furigana on most kanji
Con
-
Obviously, some might like a break from 赤川次郎
-
Chapters are quite long (only four chapters in the whole book)
