The Erotic Adventures of (Post)Modern Japanese Schoolgirls

Midori Tatsumi has been gathering quite the underground following in erotic Japanese literature, and we are pleased to present the first English publication of her work, translated by Valerie Gray. Midori Tatsumi writes about the sexual experiences of young girls in contemporary Japanese society. Sachiko learns what the other girls in her boarding school do in secret to give pleasure to one another. Miyoko is an orphan who uses her sexuality to survive, engaging in what is known as Enjo-Kousai. Yumi's lover introduces her to sex toys, and that just makes her blush with ardent desire. Midori Tatsumi has been writing and publishing fiction since she was 15. Now 22, she lives in Osaka, Japan, working on her first novel. Her memoir, Enjo-Kousai: Confessions of a Japanese Schoolgirl, which took Japan by a storm, will be published in English by the Olympia Press in 2011.
