Intro
Have you ever read the doujinshi "Sasayaki"?
The one put out by the club "Ragtag Crowd" at Hanafuda University of the Arts.
No, it's not illegal or anything. It's a proper doujinshi published four times a year, every three months, with the university's permission. They show up at every summer and winter convention, and their circulation is pretty high. They're a normally popular club.
The problem is—the content.
Every work submitted is somehow... off.
You think it's a romance manga, and then a kidnapping starts.
You think it's pure literature, and then someone's in love with a corpse.
It's a gag manga, yet bondage gear appears.
And all the authors use pen names.
Names of birds like "Hototogisu," "Uguis," "Tsubame"—that's all.
So from the outside, no one knows who wrote what.
Well, actually, everyone has a sneaking suspicion.
But no one says it out loud.
Because whenever the name "Ragtag Crowd" comes up at Hanafuda University, everyone lowers their voice just a little.
"I heard that place is a gathering of deviants."
"But their work is incredibly good."
"I buy every new issue."
Such rumors fly in whispers among the students.
Hanafuda University of the Arts.
Approximately five thousand students enrolled.
A comprehensive university where you learn every kind of art—painting, design, photography, literature, stage.
The school motto is "To be free."
In other words, it's a lawless zone.
A student painting in oils in the courtyard.
A student practicing stage combat on the roof.
A student pulling an all-nighter in a midnight atelier.
It's a place where every day feels like a school festival.
Welcome to hell. This is the final destination.
Example 1
