The Heretical Festival

The truth of this festival is forbidden. A pop yet eerily unsettling folk horror cult story.

Shimamato Emi, a perpetual job-seeker plagued by failure. She knows the reason. Since childhood, she has never been able to distinguish between the living and the dead. The grotesque beings overflowing in the city cling to her the moment they realize she can see them…

One day, as a last-ditch effort, she applies for an interview at the major food company, Moriya Foods, where she meets a young CEO named Yan. From the moment they meet, Yan is inexplicably enamored with her, and captivated by him, Emi decides to join Moriya Foods. However, under the guise of “training,” Yan leads Emi to witness a horrifying scene—people crawling on all fours, shrieking “KeEeeEeEeKoOoOoOo” in inhuman voices.

Meanwhile, worried about Emi’s strange behavior, her brother, Youta, turns to the Sasaki Office, which specializes in supernatural cases…

The moment you open these pages, you’ve already been “absorbed.”
