Mobile phone novels are a new genre, where mobile phones have become a tool of creation and appreciation. The new genre has quickly grown and already come into the spotlight in Japan. It was affected by the characteristics of mobile phones and therefore has its own peculiarities. The following are the narrative characteristics of mobile phone novels: 1. Mobile phone novels are a kind of literature in which a person confesses his deep inner scars. It sustains the usages and emotions of mobile phones' mails and confesses a person's private 'hidden' or 'fatal' scars. Mobile phone novels clearly express the 'hidden' scars in order to emphasize the effect of confessing. In addition, the secrets related to the scars are multi-layered. 2. Mobile phone novels use the method of continuous revealing of the personal deep scars, that is to say, sending characters' scars to receivers without an end. 'Confessions', especially, become always moments of changing ways of living and driving forces of leading living. So the narratives of mobile phone novels completely corresponds with the orbits of confessions 3. Mobile phone novels straightforwardly show the facts that they deal with the experiences of their writers own. Mobile phone novels utilize the method of mobile phones' mail usage and emotions (sharing the writer's own experiences and stories), so the autobiographical characteristics are the basis of guaranteeing their probabilities and strong impressions. 4. Mobile phone novels sing changes in life made by computer connections. In mobile phone novels, which especially sing love between lovers, 'connections' have become a supreme value that defines love quite newly. 'Connections' have also become a driving force and a principle of living. 5. The main audience of mobile phone novels are mainly young females, so the frequent characters are the types of 'good bad man' and 'the guard angel'. These are the characters who are the reflections of female readers' wishful thinking and, when especially related to 'connections', the characters' powers and devotions are distinctively emphasized.
