Astral Season, Beastly Season is the debut novel by Japanese writer Tahi Saihate. This thrilling book is a meditation on belonging, the objectification of young popstars, and teenage alienation.
The story follows Morishita and Yamashiro, two high-school boys approaching the age in life when they must choose what kind of people they want to be. When their favourite J-pop idol kills and dismembers her boyfriend, Morishita and Yamashiro unite to convince the police that their idol's act was in fact by them.
