Synopsis
Beautiful, silent transfer student Reiko obsessively investigates limb-seeking urban legend behind gruesome murders in northern Kanto town.
There's something beyond the "boundary"... In a certain town in northern Kanto, a series of gruesome murders occurred. Despite the repeated incidents, the police were unable to grasp the identity of the perpetrator. Around the same time, a girl named Reiko Hanashima, possessing an almost artificial beauty, transferred to the local high school. She spoke to no one, showed no interest in anything, and became isolated. However, there was one thing that Reiko Hanashima showed an abnormal interest in—the rumor that the series of gruesome murders in the town were connected to an 'urban legend that desires limbs. Her eerie actions stirred up fears. This is a new type of folklore mystery. (Source: Shogakukan)
