>No normie shit
Okay I don't know what counts. I'll just rec a few I've liked.
>Kokoro by Natsume Sōseki
Depressing read. You may or may not come out of it feeling doomed, though I liked it a lot.
>ME by Tomoyuki Hoshino
Recent-ish. Neat premise: what if there were people who couldn't be told apart from you? Nothing incredible, but good.
>Fires on the Plain by Shohei Ooka
A soldier during the Imperial Japanese Army's retreat from the Phillippines. Really gruesome. Really liked it. There's a good epub/azw3 copy in here from an anon that digitised a bunch of books a few years back:

Actually there are a few other Jap books in there, but I haven't read them. Might be good, and the anon was specifically digitising books that no-one else had yet (some on rec from other anons on /lit/).
>Riichi Yokomitsu - Love and Other Stories
>Shiga Naoya - The Paper Door and Other Stories
>Shusaku Endo - The Girl I Left Behind

I also read In the Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami. A thriller, more or less.
