Synopsis
Continues the story of The Garden of Sinners Chapter 1: Overlooking View
In late 1990s Japan, newspapers report a string of suicides following a disturbing pattern. A chilling detail stands out: every victim jumped from the Fujou building, a crumbling, abandoned skyscraper towering over the city. Shiki Ryougi, a cold-hearted girl living in an empty apartment, suspects these deaths have a supernatural cause. Shiki possesses a mystical ability and collaborates with Touko Aozaki, a detective skilled in making dolls and magic, along with Touko's assistant and friend, Mikiya Kokutou, to delve into the cases. As Shiki uncovers the enigmatic world around her, she works to unravel the sinister secrets concealed by the strange events.
In this installment
In the winter of 1995, Mikiya Kokutou encounters a young woman during a late-night walk in the snow. She wears a striking white kimono and an enigmatic smile that draws Mikiya's attention. The next spring, Mikiya spots Shiki Ryougi at his high school entrance ceremony, and they begin spending time together over lunch, slowly forming a friendship. As Shiki becomes more open with Mikiya, he learns about her unusual background. Meanwhile, Mifune City is shaken by a string of violent, interconnected murders that confound the police. Through his cousin, who works in law enforcement, Mikiya gains inside knowledge of the investigation. Worried for Shiki's safety, he starts watching her closely, only to discover a shocking truth that transforms his life forever.
