The horror begins at a mountain hot-spring resort in the winter of 1998. A leaked file details vicious sex crimes allegedly buried in darkness and committed by abusive members of the privileged class. Eight of the most brutal cases spanning the Showa, Heisei and Reiwa eras are analyzed and recreated as documentary-style dramas. Psychopathic rapists—including outwardly respectable educators, civil servants, elite bureaucrats, business owners and politicians—abduct and assault eight adult women ranging from their twenties to their sixties. The first volume of this taboo series contains extreme language, sadistic violence and intensely dehumanizing imagery.
