It could be an inconsistency or it could be intentional (with the book from the future appearing in the past). Then again, Yuzuki could have also been referring to the Buddhist scriptures from which Yukio Mishima drew some ideas. @tai Interesting observation regarding Yukio Mishima’s Tennin Gosui’s publication date and Mouryou no Hako’s setting.

I'm getting quite into this show and you seemed to have covered everything I can think of. While the show takes place 1952 and afterwards, The Five Decays of a Heavenly Being was published in 1970. The fact that the book didn't exist at the time of the story is irrelevant, but it makes me curious as to why they specifically picked that year. In later episodes they seem to be quite meticulous about the date, always providing the year, month, and day, to which I question the reasoning behind. Great plot + theme synopsis.

If one couldn’t stomach the mystery of the show, one is better off watching shows like Macademi Wasshoi! instead.

If one couldn’t stomach the mystery of the show AND stomach the naughty naughty lolis and the mindless fanservice in Macademi Wasshoi, that is :?:
