Description
Highly-acclaimed manga author Shuzo Oshimi brings his critical cinematic eye to this original one-shot, a dark, intriguing prologue to director Eisuke Naito's newly-released horror film Toxic Daughter. The story follows friends Yua and Koudai who decide to save their delinquent classmate Chi, only to find themselves sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness that seems to haunt everything she touches.
From the minds of Shuzo Oshimi, highly-acclaimed author of Blood on the Tracks and The Flowers of Evil, and director Eisuke Naito comes a chilling manga-movie collaboration.
You can't hide your darkness from Chi.
It's been years since Chi, a mysterious outcast and borderline dropout, and her childhood friend Yua last spoke. One day, Chi shows up to school with a handful of dead bugs and starts a commotion that gives Yua's classmate, golden boy Kodai, an idea—he's going to bring Chi back into the fold, and he needs Yua's help to do it. But good intentions can lead to bad places, and the darkness in Chi may be more dangerous than they ever imagined.
