STORY

  

"How did I end up here?"
The main character Hisora lost his family when he was a teenager, and now gets by working a menial part-time job.

One day while working his job, Hisora notices a young man in mourning clothes who drops a bouquet of white flowers while heading into a dark alley.
Unable to let it be, Hisora picks up the bouquet and follows him. However, after passing through the long, dark alley Hisora loses sight of the young man, and finds himself standing at an Inn, the entrance to another world. While dazed, Hisora is welcomed by the Inn's residence, and hears something that surprises him.

This is a world where death is a far-away concept.

There's a man who walks around with a crushed head, and a child who plays with his own head as if it were a ball. And other Freaks with terrifying deformities.

Hisora is the only flesh and blood human, wandering around in this world filled with creepy things. He looks for a way to return to his own world, but there is none.

Hisora searches for a way to return home with the help of the Inn's inhabitants. He ventures into the town, where the scent of the living attracts the dead who live there.

What will Hisora find at the conclusion of his life-threatening search?

 

The World the Main Characte Hisora Wanders Into

 

In this world, there is an Inn where humans who have lost their consciousness for some reason in the real world inhabit, and a town where those who have died in the real world and left the Inn live.
They are all spirit bodies.
Although they do bleed if injured, they will regenerate given time, and they will not die even if mortally wounded. Therefore, the more time they spend in this world the less they become aware of the concept of death, they become impervious to pain, and subsequently, they lose all sense of ethics and morality.

 

The "Fresh" Scent that Hisora Gives Off

 

Hisora has wandered into a world where the concept of death is far away with his flesh and blood body, where the ethics and values of the real world no longer apply.

In other worlds, Hisora is the only flesh and blood human being.

The smell of life that emanates from his body attracts the obsession and envy towards life that those living in this world unconsciously harbor.

And it's this smell that Hisora unconsciously emits that will threaten his life.

 

The Inn

About The Inn


The Inn is a three-story wooden building with a good old classic Japanese feel to it.
The inside of the building, where the warmth of the wood and the sense of age can be felt, features individual guest rooms, a tatami-floor open area where the residents can gather, a lounge for relaxing, an expansive garden and large bathhouse, making for a place where residents can leisurely pass the time.

Inn Inhabitants

   

People who have lost their consciousness for some reason in the real world inhabit the Inn.
Staying at the Inn is not compulsory, so anyone who wishes to return to the real world can do so immediately, or they can stay at the Inn.

 

Town

About the Town

   

The town unfolds from the bottom of the hill in front of the Inn.
It's a nostalgic country town with a shopping street, shrine, school, and a crematorium.

Town Residents

   

Those who live in the town are a select few who have faced physical death in the real world while living in the Inn.
The town's residents vary from person to person, such as children who use their own head as a ball to play with, and people who use their own internal organs as fashion accessories, as there are many people who have little sense of ethics and morality.

 

Freaks

Monsters who lurk in this world. Their apperances vary.
They react strongly to Hisora's smell.
