👥Introduction of Characters

Daigo Agawa
Formerly an ace detective in the city department, Daigo has solved numerous difficult cases, but one day he is suddenly transferred to the marginal mountain village of Kubana under the guise of "excessive investigation.
From the first day of his transfer, he is confronted with the missing case of his predecessor, Osamu Kano, and a rumor that "villagers eat people." Using his own intuition and abundant experience, he begins an investigation.

Despite his calm and collected investigative style, the closer he gets to the truth, the more he finds himself trapped mentally as he confronts village customs and the dangers to his family, sees a shadow that seems to be "that person" on a mountain road late at night, and is tormented by a mysterious graffiti drawn by Mashiro.
On the other hand, to protect the safety of his wife Yuki and daughter Mashiro, he negotiates with the village elders and the head of the Goto family, and is prepared to confront Keisuke Goto, who has a hunting rifle in his hand.

However, he is deeply conflicted by the fact that a blood-red tradition - a secret ritual to eat people - is engraved in his life as his duty.
While his calm judgment in killing his prey and his sense of responsibility to protect his family's pride are stronger than anyone else's, his heart is consumed by a sense of guilt that clutches at his chest every time he performs the ritual.

🌟What I find attractive about him

Marginalized village x Cannibalism

Kubana Village is a small village in the remote mountains. There, a forbidden ritual that cannot be told to the outside world lives and breathes, and a "sacrifice" is chosen behind the quietness of the village.
The sense of oppression peculiar to this closed village and the taboo stories secretly spun by the villagers arouse the curiosity of the reader.
The "fear of cannibalism," which sets this book apart from ordinary suspense, cuts through the darkness of the night, and it is inevitable that the reader will not be able to stop turning the pages.

Elaborate psychological battle and suspense

Is it a crime or a cure?" -- "The Cure" by J. R. H. Harris, Ph.
The moment the line between right and wrong wavers, the characters' rationality gradually begins to crumble. The tense game between Daigo Agawa, an ace urban police officer, and Keisuke Goto focuses not only on the point of a gun, but also on inner conflicts, leading the reader into a deep maze.
On a night in the village, when suspicion and doubt swirl, it becomes difficult to even see who is friend or foe - such a stifling psychological battle is the greatest appeal of this work.

■Drama of Family and Bonding

The most precious oath, "to protect one's family," can also become the greatest weakness under extreme conditions.
Daigo Agawa wants to protect his daughter and wife as a novice police officer, while Keisuke Goto bears the burden of his family as the heir to a prominent family.

The two men's love and responsibilities intersect and sometimes clash violently with each other. The strength of the bond that transcends blood ties and the tragedy that lurks behind it strike a chord, creating a deep reverberation that lingers in the heart long after the book is finished.
