Blue Literature - In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom (Episode 5 to 6) Preview

"No Longer Human" had been a very nice arc. I'm glad that subs are being released consistently now. Looks like it's getting more love; I'm happy. I can finally blog the series as planned: by arc.
But that doesn't stop me from making previews. It won't be fair if only the first arc gets one. Hehe~

Now for the sneak peek of Ango Sakaguchi's "In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom" (Sakura no Mori no Mankai no Shita)

( UPDATED: With Sixth Episode Plot )

(novel screencaps by Wabisabi)

There is't much information of this novel around aside from the fact that it has a 1975 film adaptation by Shinoda Masahiro. Fortunately, Wabisabi made a brief description:

In the story, it is said that those who pass under cherry trees would hear uncanny voices and succumb to madness. Even austere monks passing under the cherry trees would throw off their hats in a state of dementia and mysteriously disappear in the midst of the showering petals…

A customer review at Amazon made an interesting description of it as well:

"In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom," by Ango Sakaguchi, is extremely violent and gory, yet funny in a weird way; it's about a mountain bandit who claims a new wife as booty.
