Product Description
Review
Of the many ways to engage the Japanese, and the brilliant and peculiar society they have built, most involve reading long, long books with many, many footnotes. But the best way the fastest, the most amusing, the most memorable is through Tabloid Tokyo and its sequel Tabloid Tokyo 2. --Stephen Hunter
Product Description
In this sequel to the popular Tabloid Tokyo, we are plunged once again into the pages of Japan s amazing magazines to find more great stories that the Japanese are reading with unabashed gusto. Picking from a wide range of articles, from the most outrageous to the most poignant social commentary, these media watchers, all long-term residents of the country, creatively translate and add the occasional, insightful commentary to put these news items into context. Tabloid Tokyo 2, like its predecessor, offers a unique chance to see an uncensored and unexpurgated view of the quirky corners of Japan rarely covered in the mainstream media. Here are the fads, the fancies, and the foibles of life in Japan, as raw and real as life itself. As a picture of contemporary Japanese society (or at least a large part of it), readers will once again find this a collection that is informative, sometimes shocking . . . but always entertaining.

Do not buy/believe this book!
11 July 2008
Format:Paperback
This hentai author himself and all related persons who published this book/articles on Mainichi Daily News are accused as being fake, and Mainichi admitted these are corrupted so wildly. Some people started boycotting Mainichi News Paper. This is a big fuss and if you read this and ask about it to Japanese, I am sure most of people get angry.
