Almost Transparent Blue (限りなく透明に近いブルー, Kagirinaku Tōmei ni Chikai Burū, "Almost Infinitely Transparent Blue") is a 1976 novel, written by Japanese author Ryū Murakami, that features a portrait of narrator Ryū and his friends trapped in a cycle of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll during the 1970s.
Murakami's first work was the short novel Almost Transparent Blue, written while he was still a university student. [7] It deals with promiscuity and drug use among disaffected youth. Critically acclaimed as a new style of literature, it won the Gunzo Prize for New Writers in 1976, despite some objections on the grounds of decadence.

I would have to disagree with the assertion that the novel is pornographic, even if the entry merely says "almost" or some such thing. In fact, most of the sex is portrayed in such a way that the characters are indeed fleshed out and the action is left as decidedly less than erotic. I doubt that was Murakami's intent to begin with.
