A journalist confronts a mystery surrounding his estranged wife

In this manga’s opening volume, freelance journalist Yuushi Kamome is living with grief after the accidental death of his daughter and the breakdown of his marriage. A flyer from the unfamiliar Smiling Hearts Society draws him into an investigation when he recognizes his estranged wife among its smiling faces. The setup links personal loss to questions about a religious organization, placing Yuushi’s search for answers at the center of a story about grief, marriage, and the uncertainty surrounding the group’s public image. The description frames the society as potentially sinister, while leaving the nature of its hidden darkness unresolved.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in mystery plots involving religious organizations.
  • Readers drawn to stories centered on grief, estranged relationships, and investigative journalism.

Book overview

A journalist risks everything to uncover the truth behind a sinister cult...

Yuushi Kamome is a freelance journalist who lost his beloved daughter in an unforeseen accident. His descent into despair following her death drove his wife to leave him, and he lives each day a shell of the man he once was.

But his fate changes one day when members from a religious organization he had never heard of, the Smiling Hearts Society, knock on his door and hand him a flyer. He' s ready to dismiss them until he notices the face of his estranged wife on the flyer, smiling ever so softly.

And so begins a tale of religion and insanity. What kind of sinister darkness lurks behind this religion and its strange smiles?
