My first Akutagawa story that I read for our class in Asian Literature ✨️
Akutagawa's storytelling compell you in any angle that leaves you seeking more, perhaps guessing for a far more grand scene. It's more than thrilling. It's definitely one of the best short stories I read this year.

The truth differs from the beholder of the eyes who sees it directly. It differs even more when the beholder tells it to those who never sees it, depending heavily on how the story was told, how the teller feels towards it, and how the listener took the story as.
The truth will never be as clear as the real time happening of such situation itself.
