おとめ地獄~ヴァージニア インフェルノ~
Young girls navigate a world filled with hidden terrors. The weight of others' gazes, anxieties about their own appearance, the fragile balance of friendships—these everyday challenges become sources of profound fear. Each day brings new causes for dread, as innocence is tested by the shadows lurking beneath the surface of ordinary life.
This collection of short stories, written and illustrated by Miyako Cojima, a pioneer of lolita-style horror, delves into the strange, fantastical, and bizarre. Featuring pretty retro-style girls who seem far too pure for such horrors, these tales blend the whimsical with the macabre. From supernatural encounters to psychological twists, each narrative explores the delicate line between childhood wonder and the creeping darkness that threatens to consume it.
As the stories unfold, the girls confront not only external monsters but also the fears that dwell within themselves. The line between reality and nightmare blurs, leaving readers questioning what is truly safe in a world where even the most innocent moments can turn terrifying.
