One morning, a demon looks you in the eye and says, I just want to help you. Would you believe it?
Set in the first half of the 20th century, the story follows a typical day in the life of Chikaramochi Tanaka. For him, it's better to run his factory than to connect with the people who work there. Bitter and crumbling under his own pride, Tanaka wonders if he should just end it all.
The Sasori Oni has been serving its penance for decades, waiting to be released someday. On its torturous journey, it finds in Tanaka something that prevents it from walking away.
As the fates of this unusual duo intertwine, Tanaka resists the help he never asked for, but he soon realizes he has more than one demon to face.
Don't wait any longer to find out what happens when their paths collide: click Read Sample and start this unforgettable magical realism novelette today.
