A review by bookbandit
JK Haru is a Sex Worker in Another World by Ko Hiratori

4.0

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.
