Five years ago, Eriko died in a landslide while playing in a small shack by the river, the door locked from the outside. Who holds the key to the secrets surrounding her death? Is it Minako, the girl who lost her parents in an accident? Alice, the queen-like figure? Or someone else? This masterwork is filled with overwhelming tension and draws you into a world of love and mystery. As love intertwines with secrets, the story delves into the terrifying and beautiful side of youth, just like the works of other psychological thrillers, leaving readers with a chilling sense of dread. The suspense builds toward a terrifying conclusion that will leave your spine tingling! A high-point in 1990s psychological detective manga, recommended highly in Japan.
