Synopsis
Set at the mysterious Higano Academy, students are trapped in a cycle of supernatural deaths and eerie prophecies. The narrative follows two protagonists as they navigate the dangers of forbidden school grounds and the chaotic influence of Onmyoji clans. It reads like a paranormal mystery blended with the death game trope and Japanese urban legends, echoing the atmospheric dread of titles like Another but with a central BL romance. This novel is for readers who enjoy slow-burn queer relationships set against a ghostly, atmospheric backdrop. Those seeking a fast-paced thriller or a rigorous, logic-driven detective story should skip it. The pacing is deliberately measured, transitioning from a plot-heavy mystery in the first half to a character-driven emotional exploration in the second. Its standout quality is the seasonal structure that mirrors the protagonists' evolving bond across spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Editorial Review
As a completed work of 142 chapters, this novel provides a satisfying, closed-end experience. The primary strength lies in its thematic cohesion; using the four seasons to transition from a supernatural mystery to a character study allows the relationship between the leads to develop naturally. However, the author's admission that the work is pseudo-reasoning is a weakness for those expecting a tight, logical puzzle, suggesting the plot serves the atmosphere rather than a strict mystery. The shift in focus midway through the story may feel disjointed to some, but it ensures the romantic elements are not rushed. While it currently has very low visibility, the blend of Onmyoji lore and school-life horror creates a distinct mood that will appeal to niche fans of Japanese-inspired supernatural BL.
