“Now; you are a real frog, am I right?”
“Yes, of course, as you can see. A real frog is exactly what I am. A product neither of metaphor nor allusion nor deconstruction nor sampling nor any other such complex process, I am a genuine frog. Shall I croak for you?”
(Excerpt from Super-Frog Saves Tokyo)

It is an everyday-kind of story of a giant frog who is talking a man into helping him fight the bad worm from causing another deadly earthquake in Japan.
Geniusly written as always, Super-Frog Saves Tokyo is descriptively captivating through a very humble literature language. Reading it is like watching a motion medium minus all the overly-developed, complicated story-board twists.
Guaranteed at least one good laugh every two minutes, Super-Frog is a definite quake in the forever-fascinating Murakami world.
Super-Frog Saves Tokyo is a chapter in Haruki Murakami's After the Quake, 2000
