    This Is Amiko, Do You Copy?

    Paperback
    By Natsuko Imamura (Author), Hitomi Yoshio (Translator)
    Publication Date: October 31, 2023


    About the Book:

    From Akutagawa Prize–winning author Natsuko Imamura comes This Is Amiko, Do You Copy?—a quietly captivating and unsettling portrait of girlhood, loneliness, and the blurry lines between reality and imagination. Through the eyes of a young narrator obsessed with her odd, unpredictable classmate Amiko, this novel explores the intensity of adolescent emotions and the mystery of human connection.

    Set in a small Japanese town, the story is filtered through a child’s limited understanding, which lends both innocence and unease to the tale. Amiko is strange. She vanishes. She dances alone on rooftops. She claims to hear voices. As the narrator becomes fixated on understanding her, we are drawn deeper into a world where the mundane rubs up against the uncanny—and nothing is quite what it seems.


    Here’s a quote from the book:

    "She wasn't strange like a puzzle to be solved. She was strange like a song only some people could hear." — Natsuko Imamura


    Why Read It?

    For readers who appreciate subtle, psychological fiction with a hint of mystery, This Is Amiko, Do You Copy? is a haunting and tender exploration of how we perceive others—and how our own loneliness shapes what we see. Imamura masterfully captures the fragility of youth and the weight of being misunderstood, while Hitomi Yoshio’s translation carries the voice of the narrator with quiet precision and emotional depth.

    This novel will resonate with fans of Sayaka Murata, Yoko Ogawa, or anyone drawn to character studies that are eerie, intimate, and thought-provoking.

    Why You Should Read It:

    This Is Amiko, Do You Copy? is a short but striking novel that lingers in your mind long after you finish. It’s not just about Amiko—it’s about obsession, perception, and the stories we build around other people when we don’t quite understand them. With sparse, elegant prose and a deeply human core, Imamura offers a meditation on isolation and the longing to connect—no matter how strange the signal.
