Abstract

Successful manga artist, Ryuji Jinnai's fiancée, Satomi, dies in a car accident. Out of shock, Ryuji kills a popular heroine from the manga he is serializing.
Immediately, complaints from fans flood in. Among them, however, is a letter postmarked a few days before the accident that predicts Satomi's death.
When he visits the sender of the letter, he finds a calm, forty-eight-year-old woman named Misa Kanzaki. Her room is decorated with merch of Ryuji’s manga, indicating that she is an
avid fan. Does Misa truly have the ability to predict one’s death?
An unpredictable truth awaits Ryuji at the end of his mad love for his lost fiancée.
