Brave Story by Miyuki Miyabe is a pretty cool book that has a kid go into a fantasy world, but is actually about dealing with divorce and growing up.

eh, ill peep the anime instead

Never seen it. Heard it has trippy animation and stuff. It got a psp rpg too, which follows a different kid with different problems I think

I should probably read some Banana Yoshimoto. I think I lost my copy of Kitchen and never got around to reading it.

Any other authors who don't write completely depressing works? Not that that's bad, but it's a bit tiring to read, and the few Japanese authors I have read tend to write with a very oppressive atmosphere. Silence sounds interesting though so I might look that up.
