Botchan is the story of a young math teacher from Tokyo whose first assignment takes him to a middle school in the country side. His arrival there is not very lucky: The pupils are bound to test his perseverance and cheerily comment every one of his perceived missteps. In the teacher's room, he soon finds himself in the middle of an intrigue between the jovial "Porcupine" and the fat "Hubbard Squash" on one side, and the effeminate "Red Shirt" and his follower "Clown" on the other. Will Botchan choose the right side in the end?
Botchan - with morality as the main theme - is one of the most popular novels in Japan. Sōseki Natsume bases the story on his own experiences as teacher in Matsuyama, his first assignment away from Tokyo. (Summary by Availle) (5 hr 7 min)

Another fine reading by Availle, who seems to have a great affinity with Japanese literature. But it's an odd story... perhaps it represents the author recalling life when he was young and in equal parts impetuous and gullible (haven't we all been so at some stage?). But when having finally chosen his side he sees it through with courage.
Such a funny story, much more humorous than I was expecting.

a tedious and rambling account of day to day sundry happenings of little consequence set in a Japanese middle school.
Great!
