Murakami was ultimately so pleased he let Yamakawa adapt a second short story, "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning", into A GIRL SHE IS 100% the following year (3/3) #BFIJapan

Yamakawa came across Murakami's short story "Bakery Attack" in the literary magazine of Waseda University, which they both attended several years apart. Yamakawa sought permission and, though privately reluctant, Murakami granted it for ATTACK ON A BAKERY (1982) (2/3)
