Shadows House

Synopsis

In the secluded mountains, far from human civilization, lives the noble Shadows family, distinguished by their black forms and the soot they emit when upset. Each Shadow child, upon nearing adulthood, receives a Living Doll—a companion and substitute for the facial features they lack due to their dark appearance. Emilico, a lively new Doll, is assigned to the gentle-mannered Shadow named Kate. Though their personalities differ greatly, Emilico dedicates herself to serving her master's every need. As Emilico gains insight into her responsibilities and encounters other Dolls and their masters, she starts to piece together the enigma of her own purpose. One of the core rules for Dolls is "Do not concern yourself with minor issues." Yet, how can the inquisitive Emilico overlook the profound mysteries concealed within the Shadows House?
