A struggling writer finds himself drawn into darkness by a seductive, talented author in this enthralling psychological drama from the best-selling creator of Cherry Magic!

Japan, early 20th century. Subaru Karasuma, an aspiring writer with dashed ambitions, neck-deep in loans he has no hope of paying back, decides it's time to draw the curtains on his miserable life. Before he can follow through on his dark intent, he's diverted by the spectacle of a neighbor working frenetically with his literary group to meet the deadline for a work commissioned by Geppo Yagira, a rich and famous novelist. When the devilishly handsome, fiercely talented Geppo lays his eyes on Subaru, the latter's life is set on a new course. But the new path he's now treading seems to lead ever deeper into the darkness...
