📝 Synopsis

The story begins when "Harumi," a young woman who moved to Tokyo, decided to share a room with a new friend named "Reko." At first, everything seemed smooth and normal, but over time, Harumi noticed the strange and changing behavior of this roommate until Reko suddenly mysteriously disappeared.

Meanwhile, the city they lived in had a series of murders, so Harumi joined forces with Kensuke, a senior in the sorority, to find and trace Reko's history. The deeper they went, the more they discovered the creepy truth, and when they discovered that "Reko" may not have only one identity, but that she had multiple roles with completely different names, ages, and backgrounds, the mystery took them into the shadows of the human mind and connected to a series of murders.

🧐 Interesting review

This book is not too thick, so that the story is concise, not prolonged, so that it is not really laid down to find out who "Reko" is!

The highlight of this is that playing with the human mind and self can create a super atmosphere of paranoia and dishonesty.

Plot Twist, according to the style of Imamura Aya, the end of the story is a kind of twist. Oh, what the hell!! And often leave a sense of retardation or open-ended questions to think about after reading.

💡 Things learned after reading

This reflects that those we think know well, or even those who sleep in the same room, may actually have dark secrets behind friendly smiles and gestures, and we can't really judge anyone from the outside shell.

Circumstances, parenting, or past events can create cracks in the mind and affect one person's personality or actions when grown up (just know that this disease is caused by these things).

Excessive trust in strangers, or neglect of the little alarms around us, can cause us unexpected dangers. Being conscious and observant will be the best shield in modern society.

Impression: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 / 5)
