Monthly release. Some stories do not end when the book is closed; they linger in the air like a persistent echo or a shadow in the moonlight. This is a collection of literary mirrors and imagined fragments. What did a father truly feel beneath the rigid shadow of Japanese tradition in *No Longer Human*? What secret solace did nature conceal behind the tragedy of *The Nightingale and the Rose*? What alternative paths await within the abyss of *Arthur Gordon Pym*? Do not look here for the absolute truth of the classics, but rather for the fascination of someone who dared to look from a different angle. Three-chapter stories born of curiosity, transformed by imagination, and written to reimagine what we once took for granted.

No memories. No audience. Seven days until the first act. Sixteen young people wake up trapped inside a claustrophobic underground complex designed to resemble an abandoned theater. None of them remember their pasts or how they arrived there; all they retain are their identities and their elite professional skills. The rules of the stage are as cold as an algorithm: for the show to go on, a sacrifice must be made. If, within a strict 168-hour (7-day) window, a "perfect murder" is not committed-one that withstands the group's scrutiny-the ventilation system will seal shut, cutting off the oxygen supply until everyone suffocates. There is no room here for bizarre mascots or childish games. It is a race against time where every technical talent-from carpentry and art restoration to hairstyling and sleight-of-hand-becomes a double-edged sword: the only tool to execute the perfect crime, or the only key to dismantling the trap from within. When the first drop of blood hits the stage floor, the show begins.

Original Title: 風の中の足音：超常現象クラブへようこそ (Kaze no naka no ashioto: Chōjō genshō kurabu e yōkoso) Koshiba Kaname is an ordinary second-year high school student who, for twelve years, has been chasing the supernatural being that saved his life-or so he firmly believes. To achieve this, as a self-proclaimed "destiny detective," Kaname founded the Supernatural Club, hidden behind the title of Literature Club, a club dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the strange events that occur at his school. Sorano Hasegawa, the vice president, a sweet and optimistic girl, Yoru Satou, a cynical and mocking student who is only there to waste time, and Touya Minami, the sole member of the literature club, become involved in the story behind that event twelve years ago.

Bree Hannon has a mantra: "Breathe, Bree, everything will be alright." She blames no one but her own weakness for the way her life has unfolded, "it's because I wasn't enough" or "it's because I'm a broken doll." Her sole purpose is to survive until August of next year, end it all, and stop being a burden to those she loves. It all began with an unexpected death and reached its peak with a rumor born from her loneliness. Will there be light at the end of the tunnel, or will it all end in ashes? Breathe, everything will be alright. If this narrative is too difficult for you, you are free to stop.

To the Kingdom, she is Duchess Beatrice Campbell, the perfect future Queen: a marble figure molded by relentless protocols and cruel isolation. To the palace, he is Crown Prince Garrick, a man trapped on a glass throne whose only escape seems to be the fulfillment of his duty. And in the shadows of the court is Dagur, the younger brother, blessed with the freedom that was denied to the firstborn. But behind the facades of the high aristocracy lies a hidden sanctuary: an old bohemian café in the town square. There, stripped of their titles, two teenagers play at being free under the names "Nótt" and "Bea," surrendering to a fervent and bittersweet first love that has a strict expiration date: six months. When the masks fall and the crown demands its due, Beatrice will find herself caught in a web of stark political realism, where her own family has woven a deadly trap using her innocence. Can a love that blossomed in a coffee shop survive the weight of an empire? Or will they learn that, sometimes, maturity means letting go of the bitter coffee of the past to learn to savor the complex present? A story told from three perspectives where there are no villains, only prisoners of their own lineage trying to find solace for their souls.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Carousel of Shadows. Make a wish and let the game fulfill your darkest fantasies without conditions. Don't tell me you feel insecure? It's not as if this is your first time desiring something you shouldn't, and if the desire is dark, it's the birth of your desire, not mine. So choose: do you seize the opportunity, or are you merely a spectator of the events? Take a seat.

But behind her clear eyes and measured gestures lies an architecture of manipulation that he cannot begin to comprehend. Amidst inexplicable nausea, heavy silences, and a social circle that is crumbling, Ishmael clings to the only person who hasn't abandoned him. However, in this three-year relationship, nothing is as it seems. Is Sarah a calculating villain, or is she the reflection of a past that Ishmael has chosen to forget? Discover that, sometimes, the truth hurts more than the lie... and that the smoke always hides the ashes of a tragedy.
