Kishi’s novella, in the same vein as Hunger Games or Battle Royale, tightens up both the participant and kill-count such that a smaller pool of contestants makes for a more in-depth assessment of how personality defines outcomes in ‘the game.’ Rationalizing that each player’s initial choice in the zero sum game determines the outcome via North-East-South-West dynamics, the narrator’s survival largely depends on the support of a mystery woman who might be both the narrator’s lover or femme fatale.

Himeyuri and Hawaii Exhibition
When: August 14th - December 20th, 2024, during library hours
Location: 1st Floor, Lama Library, near the Hawaiʻi-Pacific Collection
Lama Library invites you to visit us and view the traveling exhibition, “Himeyuri and Hawaii.” We are pleased to host this exhibit through the end of the Fall semester. Created by the Himeyuri Peace Museum in Okinawa, this exhibit tells the story of the Himeyuri Student Corps, comprised of female students from the Okinawa First Girls' High School and the Okinawa Female Normal School, who were mobilized to serve as assistant nurses during the Battle of Okinawa, in 1945. Many of the young students lost their lives, and by the war's end, 136 out of 245 students had died.
Learn about the story of the Himeyuri students, and discover the connections between Himeyuri and the people of Hawaiʻi through the years.
The exhibition has 2 parts. Part 1, outlines the experiences of Himeyuri and the Battle of Okinawa, and Part 2 outlines the connections between Himeyuri and Hawaiʻi.
The exhibition was previously on display at the UH West Oʻahu Library, and at Hamilton Library at UH Mānoa.
