About the book

A young woman named Kyoko Byakuya wanders into a village near Mount Sengoku where the landscape is covered in mysterious volcanic glass fibers known as Amagami. The villagers believe these golden threads allow them to communicate with the universe, but a sudden eruption destroys the settlement, leaving Kyoko as a vessel for supernatural perception. She becomes the target of a cosmic cult and a shadow-like entity named Saul. The narrative follows a journalist, Wataru Tsuchigami, as he tracks Kyoko through various strange phenomena, including a girl who can see the Akashic Records and a village obsessed with suicide.

This manga is for readers of cosmic horror who seek a blend of philosophical curiosity and body horror. Fans of Junji Ito read this specific work to see his interpretation of grand-scale science fiction and the terrifying vastness of the galaxy. It appeals to those interested in the thin line between religious enlightenment and madness. The reader finishes the book with a visual library of surreal, sprawling illustrations and a story that connects human history to the movement of the stars.
