Is 13 too young to read a Murakami novel? (he answers it exactly as you would expect...)(unofficial Murakami-san no Tokoro translation - Q/A #129)
Q129
I am in my first year of junior high.
I want to read your books, but I haven’t because my father, who is a fan of yours, says I am still too young.
What should I do?

I get this question from a lot of people around your age. If you’re in your first year of junior high, personally, I think that should be OK. Just hide from your dad and read through them. There are some lewd scenes, but just skip those. If you do want to read them, just read them. It doesn’t cause any particular harm. I don't worry too much about those kinds of things when I write, so you should read it without worrying too much either. It’s not as if I am writing anything untrue, so it works out. Try your best to read something, if you’d like. I hope you enjoy the book!

Hi everyone, I have set up a kofi at https://ko-fi.com/xijalu in case anyone would like to donate. It’s also for things like if you have anything you’d like translated from Japanese to English.
I’m not expecting donations, but I think it’s a good idea to start a kofi just in case 😄
Thank you for reading!
