Although books are still popular with teenagers, most of them spend more of their leisure time staring at their phone than reading a paperbook. Instead of publishing whole book at once, they produce very short chapters, which they send once a week to their readers by text message.
Many are written by high school or university students who are very familiar with the topics that teenagers are interested in. Common themes are love, tragedy and betrayal, and the stories often deal with difficult or controversial issues.
Twenty-one-year-old Rin wrote her novel over a six-month period in spare moments, often while commuting on the train. Her book sold 40000 copies and was number five in the Japanese bestseller list. Rin said that her mother had had no idea that she had been writing a novel and was therefore very surprised when she saw a book with her daughter's name on it
