The deformed children wander the night――

The 2nd gem collaboration following "Dream Child"!

=====

Midori Hayashi's puppets are a combination of evocative beauty and haunting eccentricity.

-- Danijela Krha Purssey, Editor-in-chief of Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, Australia

The dolls produced by Midori Hayashi are cute, cruel, beautiful and full of affection, all of which are excessively eloquent and ambiguous.

-- Tsutomu Hukayasu (from commentary)

=====

The 2nd gem of collaboration, in which Mari Ishigami writes a novel that resonates with the world of Midori Hayashi's puppet works photographed by Ryu Tanaka.

With more pages than "Dream Child", it's a book where you can fully enjoy the world!

Following "Dream Child", the binding was handled by Yuichi Nakagawa, who is known for the binding of "Black Butler".

This book is written in both Japanese and English.
