Can you recommend some Japanese novels similar to 'Waiting for you in the dark'?

Sure. 'No Longer Human' by Osamu Dazai is a very dark novel. It's a semi - autobiographical work that explores themes of alienation, depression, and the human condition. The protagonist feels out of place in society and has a very tortured existence. 'Kafka on the Shore' by Haruki Murakami also has some dark undertones. It weaves together a complex story of a young boy on a strange journey filled with mystery and the surreal.

Yes, there might be other novels with 'after dark' themes in Japanese literature. However, not all of them are as widely known as Murakami's work. You could also look into some mystery or thriller Japanese novels that often use the cover of night, or 'after dark' settings to build suspense.

😋I recommend you to read The Strongest Electric Escape of Koba and One Piece: The Enchantress, both of which are Japanese light novels in the Diablo series. I hope you like my recommendation, Mwah ~😗

Love and longing are likely main themes. The title itself implies waiting in the dark, which could symbolize the waiting for love or a connection in an uncertain or difficult situation.

Similar Japanese dark stories include those found in the works of Hideshi Hino. His art and stories are known for their grotesque and dark nature. Additionally, some of the stories in the 'Kwaidan' collection, which are traditional Japanese ghost stories, share the trait of having a certain darkness. They often deal with themes like the afterlife, revenge from the dead, and the unknown, which could be somewhat related to what 'sa2 japanese dark story' might entail.

One could consider 'The Tale of Genji' which is a classic Japanese novel. It's a very detailed account of the Heian period aristocratic life. While it has no relation to '7 rings' in terms of theme, it's a great example of Japanese literature's depth and richness. Different from the modern concept of '7 rings', it delves into the relationships, politics and culture of its time.

A novel with a similar theme recommended Waiting for Your Warmth. The plot described the life of an ordinary person and the growth of his heart, longing for family and warm feelings. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

, I recommend the following novels to you. They are all in a similar style to the Dark King: "The Assassin's Blade": The protagonist was also a killer in the dark. He emphasized sticking to his heart and slaughtering the darkness of the world. The protagonist was the king of darkness among the mercenaries. He had strong skills and a temperament like a prodigal son. "Is the Ghost's Reversal Reliable'?" The main character was a cowardly ghost who turned the tables and became a demon king. There was also a king in the dark. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

Another one is 'A Wild Sheep Chase' by Haruki Murakami. It shares the Japanese origin and has Murakami's signature blend of the ordinary and the surreal. The story takes the reader on a strange journey filled with interesting characters and unexpected events, much like Bokurano Ours might have in terms of engaging the reader in an off - beat narrative.

You might like the 'Berserk' novels. It has a dark and gritty atmosphere similar to Fate Zero. The battles in 'Berserk' are intense and the characters have complex motives. Just like in Fate Zero, there are power dynamics at play between different groups. Also, the 'Record of Lodoss War' novels are a good choice. They both involve a group of characters with different abilities coming together in a dangerous adventure. The world - building in 'Record of Lodoss War' is also detailed, with different races and magic.
