Description

Shion Mikoshiba, a second-year junior high school girl, starts living with her parents in the large mansion where her grandfather once lived. At her new school, Yomoyama Junior High School, she endures a stressful school life, being ignored by her classmates due to the harassment of the class representative.

One day, while at a park, Shion overhears a certain rumor:

"In that mansion, 'that one' must still be living somewhere."

Shion encounters "that one," a creature with an amphibian-like appearance, inside her house. Harboring resentment toward her classmates, she learns the long-standing connection between "that one" and her family. Soon, incidents begin occurring around her, bringing misfortune to those nearby …

By the story's climax, when the truth is revealed, the world the readers thought they knew is completely turned upside down.

Renowned storyteller Kyosuke Tsumiki, who has long explored the darkness of the human heart, reaches a terrifying new frontier in this work. Drawing on Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, he masterfully fuses horror and mystery, achieving a striking new pinnacle in his craft.
