She did not become a prostitute for money, but for an education in the mechanics of human intimacy-learning about the desires of men while mastering the art of manipulation. She is a woman obsessed, sculpting herself into the only shape capable of catching the eye of Taka Yoshino, Japan's most adored \u003cem\u003eeromen\u003c\/em\u003e idol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter meeting Ayano at a DVD release event and later an arranged fan date, Taka-a professional at selling a gentle fantasy of love to the housewives and lonely women of Japan-believes he has finally found a fan he can truly be himself with. He is impressed by Ayano's beauty and feels they have a rare, genuine connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe was wrong. Dead wrong. Because for Ayano, Taka is only the first step into total, absolute madness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of Ryu Murakami's \u003cem\u003eAudition\u003c\/em\u003e, the curated grace of the \"perfect woman\" is merely a shroud for a horror that defies comprehension. But where Murakami's nightmare was an intimate betrayal, Ayano's is a global contagion. Indeed, her devotion is to a vision far more sinister and devastating than a simple obsession. Everything she does is for somebody who has shaped her entire being since she was a child, molding her into an instrument of destruction that will bring about the end of the world-in order to save it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut can she save herself?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 25, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53752342708531,"sku":"9798234040008","price":28.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/nTwW-OwDv39798234040008_ea55b25f-f917-4be2-9113-f43a1f08f769.webp?v=1785286443","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/poa-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
