Synopsis

It all began with a single diary.

A young man stumbles upon a handwritten journal that describes a village unmarked on any map. There, surrounded by a forest so eerily red it drives one to madness, lies Kimachi Village—a remote mountain settlement where camellias bloom out of season and crimson leaves fall impossibly early. The youth is welcomed as a visitor from beyond, a sacred guest.

Welcome, honored guest. You are the Omeguri-sama.

This year marks a special grand festival held only once every twenty years. The people of this village—those specially raised as shrine maidens for this occasion—have been born and raised for this moment. Each night, two of them will take turns serving you. This ancient ritual of offering the village’s most beautiful daughters as temporary wives to a divine guest is a sacred act of hospitality toward the gods.
