Super-Frog Saves Tokyo

Super-Frog Saves Tokyo is a lavishly illustrated, beautifully designed special edition of Haruki Murakami's celebrated short story. The narrative follows Katagiri, a man whose humdrum life gains meaning when he encounters a giant frog named Frog in his apartment. Frog, powerfully built and standing over six feet tall, enlists Katagiri's help to save Tokyo from an existential threat. The story blends domestic, fantastic, and esoteric elements into a weirdly bewitching shade, showcasing Murakami’s signature mix of reality and fantasy. This edition spans 96 pages, offering readers both the classic tale and rich visual accompaniment. The work has been translated into English by Jay Rubin, with illustrations by Suzanne Dean, and carries accolades such as being called a 'master storyteller' by the Sunday Times and praised by the Financial Times for its unique blend.
