Abstract

Posting her viral webcomic about a pampered rescue dog, Risa pretends to be a wealthy Roppongi housewife on social media.
When a book deal offer arrives alongside promises of multi-million-yen earnings through video content, her greed takes over.
Chasing a hundred-million-yen payday, Risa makes a reckless move—only to become entangled in an unexpected, deadly crime.
Who is the killer? And who is spinning a web of lies?
A sharp, suspenseful mystery of ambition and deceit.
