Naoki Urasawa

Kenji, a convenience-store manager whose youthful dreams of rock stardom have faded, is drawn into a disturbing mystery when the death of a childhood friend raises troubling questions. As a strange new cult gains influence and unsettling incidents begin to echo memories from Kenji’s past, he reconnects with old classmates to uncover what lies behind the growing threat. Blending psychological suspense, conspiracy, and richly layered character drama, this gripping opening volume explores the lasting power of childhood promises—and the consequences of the stories people choose to believe.
