"Sawako "Sadako" Kuronuma is the perfect heroine ... for a horror movie. With striking similarities to a haunting movie character--jet-black hair, sinister smile and silent demeanor--she's always had trouble fitting in. But her whole life changes when she befriends the most popular boy in class. Chizu is surprised by the sudden homecoming of Toru, Ryu's older brother and her childhood crush. But old habits die hard when Chizu can't seem to get enough courage to declare her love. But this is the one time Chizu won't be able to count on Ryu to be supportive of her--not when he wants her for himself."--Cover.
