Lost Girls and Love Hotels

Margaret is doing everything in her power to forget home. And Tokyo's exotic nightlife — teeming with intoxicants, pornography, and three-hour love hotels — enables her to keep her demons at bay. Working as an English specialist at Air-Pro Stewardess Training Institute by day, and losing herself in a sex— and drug-addled oblivion by night, Margaret represses memories of her painful childhood and her older brother Frank's descent into madness.
But Margaret's deliberate nihilism is thrown off balance as she becomes increasingly haunted by images of a Western girl missing in Tokyo. And when she becomes enamored of Kazu, a mysterious gangster, their affair sparks a chain of events that could spell tragedy for Margaret, in a city where it's all too easy to disappear.

    But then it begins, like love affairs do, with a chance meeting, and then a raw empty something needing to be sated, something you didn’t notice before. But suddenly it squawks like a hungry bird, day and night, refusing to be ignored. You love and revile it, this sore shrieking something
