Synopsis

Yuushi is thought to have been consumed whole by the cultish religion, yet...his eyes haven't lost the light within. As it turns out, his old friend, Uozumi, and the police are working from the outside of SHS, while Yuushi works from the inside, in order to take the sinister organization out by the root. The only problem is the cult's personal silencer, Imanami, has also begun to make his move! For every mystery unraveled, a new one seems to appear, but the truth behind the fanatical organization is starting to emerge...

About the Author

MITEI HATTORI made his debut in 2021 with breakout hit Smile!, which was serialized in Weekly Manga Goraku (Nihon Bungeisha). The series quickly gained attention for its dark psychological themes and bold visual style, establishing Hattori as a striking new voice in the seinen manga scene. Driven by his deep discomfort with forced smiles and inspired by his conversations with people raised in religious cults, Hattori explores themes of faith, control, and the societal pressure to appear happy.
