About this product
Product Information
Born to a wealthy and powerful yakuza boss, Shoko Tendo lived the early years of her life in luxury. However, when she was six, her father was jailed, and the family fell into debt. Bullied by her classmates because of her father's activities, and terrorized at home by her father after his release from prison, Tendo rebelled, becoming a drug addict and a member of a girl gang. During Japan's bubble economy of the eighties, Tendo worked as a bar hostess, but among her many rich and loyal customers, there were also abusive ones. When her mother died, Tendo plunged into a depression so deep that she tried to commit suicide. Then Tendo reached a turning point: she had her entire body tattooed, an act that empowered her to begin the struggle to become whole. The paperback edition features 16 pages of never-before-seen personal photos and a new foreword by the author, describing her life since the book was first published four years ago.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
