Coming in May or early June sometime. It is going to be called "Real World" and here is a brief synopsis taken from B&T:

"In a crowded suburb on the outskirts of Tokyo, four teenage girls--Toshi, Terauchi, Yuzan, and Kirarin--becomes suspicious of a neighbor's teenage son when his father is found brutally murdered and the young man disappears, taking Toshi's bicycle and cell phone, unaware that all four of them will become caught up in the peril surrounding the crime."

Can't wait! I love Kirino! There is another of her books that has been translated into French but not English, called Disparations or Disappearances. I would love to read it, but my French isn't that good, sigh!

I managed to snag an ARC off eBay a few weeks ago and put my early review up on the LT page for Real World. It's pretty different compared to Out and Grotesque, but I liked it. If they use the same cover on the hardback that they did with the ARC, it's going to be really nice-looking as well.

Another of her novels, What Remains, should be out in English later on this year as well.

Was a bit disappointed by Real World. Not as intense as her first two in English, but still pretty good. Didn't have the impact, though.
