Sure. 'Hard - Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World' is quite odd. It toggles between two very different worlds, one a high - tech, dystopian place and the other a more dream - like, isolated world. Then there's 'Battle Royale' which is odd in its extreme and violent premise of high school students forced to fight to the death on an island. 'Paprika' is also a strange one, with its exploration of dreams and the blurring of the lines between the real and the dream world.

One odd Japanese novel is 'Kafka on the Shore' by Haruki Murakami. It has surreal elements like talking cats and a strange connection between a young boy and an old man. Another is 'The Tale of Genji', which is odd in its detailed exploration of courtly life in Heian Japan, with complex relationships and a slow - paced narrative that gives a unique view into that era. And 'The House of the Sleeping Beauties' by Yasunari Kawabata is also odd, dealing with an old man's visits to a house where drugged young women sleep.

One odd graphic novel is 'Black Hole' by Charles Burns. It has a very strange and disturbing atmosphere, with characters dealing with a mysterious STD that causes grotesque mutations. Another is 'Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth' by Chris Ware. Its unique art style and complex, often melancholy narrative make it stand out as an odd but fascinating read. And 'The Incal' by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius is also quite odd, filled with surreal and mind - bending science - fiction concepts.

Sure. 'The Night Circus' can be considered an odd romance novel. The story is set in a magical circus that only opens at night. The love story between the two main characters is intertwined with the strange and beautiful world of the circus. And 'Stardust' by Neil Gaiman also has an odd yet charming romance where a young man from a small town in England enters a magical land to find a fallen star and falls in love with her, who is in human form.

One example could be 'The Catcher in the Rye'. Holden Caulfield is very much the odd man out, feeling alienated from the 'phony' world around him. Another might be 'Frankenstein', where the monster is the odd one out in human society.

The creativity in storytelling. Japanese novelists are not afraid to break the rules. They mix different genres, time periods, and realities. In 'Hard - Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World', the two parallel worlds create a sense of mystery and confusion. This kind of non - traditional storytelling makes the novels stand out. Also, the use of symbolism is often very rich. Symbols can range from natural elements like the sea or the forest to more abstract concepts, adding layers of meaning to the odd stories.
