【Yuri × Mystery × Fantasy】 Three Girls Who Loved Each Other—But One Went Missing...... Seven Years Later, She Reappears Looking Exactly the Same— Sankakkei no Kowashikata!

Koto, Aya, and Erika secretly harbored feelings for each other. In their second year of middle school, Koto mustered the courage to confess to Aya, and the two started dating. However, their happiness was short-lived, as Aya suddenly vanished—almost as if she had been spirited away.

Seven years passed. Koto and Erika had grown up and moved forward with their lives. Then, one day, Aya—who had disappeared—reappeared before them, looking exactly as she had back then. A girl whose time had stopped, and two who had lived through those seven years. Their reunion shakes both their past and present, setting in motion the gears that had long been stalled. Where will the twisted relationship of these three lead?

The appeal of this work lies not just in its mystery or sci-fi elements, but in its focus on the changes in human emotions.

To her, it feels like merely the next day, yet everything around her has changed. This gap casts a deep shadow over their relationships.

The contrast between Koto and Erika, who have changed over seven years, and Aya, who remains the same, is especially heartrending. They cannot return to the past, yet Aya stands before them exactly as she was. This painful conflict is portrayed with delicate nuance, deeply moving the reader.

As the story progresses, it becomes clear that the trio can never return to their former friendship. The perspectives of the now-grown Koto and Erika, contrasted with the unchanged Aya, create a unique sense of tension.
