There was once a Japanese chef Hiraku Shimizu. Not very famous. Just a man with a restaurant named Jigoku. One day, he released his recipe book. And 14 days later, it suddenly became a hit. Thousands of copies were sold overnight. People lined up to interview him. His restaurant was in the news. His recipes were everywhere. But what was inside that recipe book? Eleven recipes. He said he had "created" them over the past year. Each one was a metaphorical, poetic version of how he killed his victims.

Feared by those who whispered her name in the corridors of power She was his sister's best friend - a girl made of light, laughter, and dreams. Until darkness claimed her name. Behind every choice she makes, his shadow moves. Behind every memory she holds, his hand rewrites the truth. He controls her life, her mind, her world - and still, she keeps returning to him.
