Who knew that a deadly gang war could be such fun? Murakami builds the conflict into a hilarious, spot-on satire of modern culture and the tensions between the sexes and generations..
In turn, the boys buckle down, study physics, and plot to take out their nemeses in a single blast.
The women band together to find the killer and exact revenge.
When one of the boys executes a lethal ambush of one of the women, chaos ensues.
The six aunties are fiercely independent career women.
At the outset, the young men seem louche but harmless, their activities limited to drinking, snacking, peering at a naked neighbor through a window, and performing karaoke.
