The interactive edition

Dating a Filipina, the book that reads itself to you.

Open it like a paperback. Press Listen and Monami tells you the story in his own voice while the pages turn themselves. Or step into his shoes and make the choices yourself.

The Prologue and Chapters 1 to 3 are free. No sign-up.

How it works

Three steps. No app, nothing to download.

  1. Open the book

    It opens right here in your browser, on a phone or a computer. Turn the pages with a tap, a swipe or the arrow keys.

  2. Press Listen

    Monami reads every chapter to you. The paragraph being read is highlighted, the pages turn on their own, and the paintings appear as the story reaches them.

  3. Make the choices

    In the storybook, each chapter stops at a real moment and asks what you would do. Pick wrong and you see where that road leads, then come back to what really happened.

Two ways in

Same honest book. Pick how you want it.
