Is there any “serious” contemporary Japanese literature, or is it all dominated by visual novels, eg written anime?
>>
>>25152519
I'd give those armpits a serious licking.
>>
>>25152519
As far as I know no. Though maybe I’m just ignorant.
The closest you might get is religion and nothingness.

>>25152519
Not even VNs are up to par with how they used to be. It's over.

uh about that ...

The appeal of it, every fetish has a reason and I find pits to be the most absurd by far. Such small area of the human body.

These replies and the OP are insane. Last year I started digging around in Japanese lit, and I found that there's actually a huge abundance of good stuff. Two contemporary authors I can recommend are Yoko Ogawa and Kirino Natsuo. Ogawa's thing is creepy, subdued literary surrealist horror. Although she might not immediately impress you with her weak characters and minimalistic plots, if you persist and engage deeply you'll find some impressive structural and thematic depths. Kirino's quite different. She's more of a mainstream thriller writer with nihilistic and femininist themes and highly engaging characters and plots. I know the feminism won't be popular around here, and she's a bit of a man-hater, but if you can get past it she can be both compelling on a plot-boiler level and fairly deep and relevant idea wise. She's also capable of literary depth. For Ogawa I'd recommend 11 Dark Tales, linked literary short fiction, while for Kirino I'd recommend Grotesque, a literary-horror novel exploring the inability to find love and meaning in contemporary life as well as gender dynamics and racial beauty standards.

Ultimately it's irrational. Feet are a very popular fetish and they do nothing for me.
I find armpits attractive because they're usually hidden so seeing them exposed is appealing, the musky acidic smell of body odor is strongest there and at the groin, and the skin is usually pretty sensitive as well so it's hot seeing a girl squirm while getting them licked.

>>25152705
not op but I am gonna give you a deserved bump because you gave a good concrete answer. However, this was not in my interest, and I do not read books written by women.
>>
>>25152519
You would have to be beyond retarded not to realize how big the market for contemporary Japanese literature is right now in the west.

I wouldn't call those two serious.

The Japanese can't write, their written language is a travesty

i feel like, if anything, the nips just don't *care* about "serious" contemporary literature like the west does, let alone literature up to this board's standards. I'd guess there's at least ONE guy in some japanese shithole, concrete hell or elsewhere, who does have talent for that kind of lit, and will maybe at some point write. but he'd only become famous posthumously, if not when he isn't even contemporary anymore.

also speaking of murakami i fucking hated kafka on the shore. are his other works worth it? a friend really likes him but i don't see it

do you really think the west cares about serious contemporary literature any more than the east?

for me good pits and sideboobs are just aesthetically satisfying. I like how defenseless women are when their armpits are in view too.
>>
>>25152705
I recommended Ogawa to my lit professor last year and he smiled and held up a palm and said, "I don't read foids."

Hers are actually pretty middling as far as armpits go

VNs aren't serious literature and if anyone tells you they are you should just laugh at them and move on. They're pretentious, deluded retards who aren't worth listening to on any subject.
>>
>>25153399
Also I say that as a someone who likes VNs and has read them regularly for many years.

Japanese fucking sucks as a written language, it's full of soulless symbols that carry no special significance across books, the best thing they have are proverbs, the deepest they can write is repeating the same line again and then asking a question. They're shallow as fuck just like their language

anon is implying insect's pits give him sexual arousal. anon is a lower level pitfag enjoying what i consider to be a mid pit. notice the various creases in her underarms, the discoloration, the lack of musculature? OPs girl is thin and attractive but low muscle mass causes loose skin, which creates extra creases, more friction and discoloration.
to me the allure of the pit is the muscle definition along with boobage. each component should be equally defined. the girl has normal head, giant tits, and twig arms, a very imbalanced physique.
3/5 pits

>>25153455
I hear her new novel is MID the Kawakami hype train is experiencing SIGNIFICANT DELAYS

Japanese armpits suck too they're tiny with no muscular form

>>25152705
Don't get surprised. People here don't read.
