JK Haru is a commentary on the darkest tropes of the "isekai" genre. The world is depressingly misogynistic, but Haru and her close friends are able to make the most of it. The characters are well written and the relationships between them is what really makes this story shine. However, some plot elements do feel a little contrived, and the pacing at one point is all over the place. If you do plan on reading this, do be aware that it is VERY graphic.

Ok, So I'll put it like this. If you're looking for a nice feel good book. I would NOT suggest this book at all. If anything, this has got to be one of the more "realistic" books that fall in the isakai genre. The main character is NOT the dude, but the girl who lived a pretty decent life in Japan and got stuck in a crappy world and is working on trying to make the best out of a bad situation. With all that said, Haru is in fact a sex worker in another would, and the book is written completely wrapped around that aspect.

Thing is, the book is NOT about sex, but about the relationships she has with different people. There are some things that are brought up throughout the story that also let you know that Haru is not the gun ho type of girl she tries to pretend to be.

Ok, so the con's about this book. Both of the people who got transported to this new world are pretty much useless people. One is the pretty girl that got by off her looks and the other is the nerdy boy who was shunned for being weird. Both characters are incredibly unlikable, but it's not them that makes the story worth reading, it's literally everyone else in the story that makes it worth reading about.

...I will say that I'm happy as hell about the other idiot (I don't even remember his name) getting the short end of the stick in this story. He DESERVED it.


With that said, I'm going to chew through the next book because I do like the fact that this isn't a Disney story. There are happy endings, there are sad endings, and there are things that you waiting to see blossom.

Short read. Interesting take on the manga light novel subculture.

I want to start off this review by saying this book is very graphic. It does at times feel like an erotica. It also seems the act of rape is taken very lightly. However, all is explained at the end. This book was very unique in its plot structure and main characters inner monologue. I really hope there is a second book because there are many ways this series could go.
