About

Tsuzuri Shirosaku, your best friend from university, invites you to his remote family village to be the "guest of honor" at their local festival. After some hesitation, you decide to go, reassured by his claim that it's just a typical local celebration. However, Shirosaku Village is a closed, isolated community deep in the mountains where no young women are to be seen. Traditional Rules of the White Cocoon Festival: 1. [The Guest's Attire] The white traditional garment given to the guest of honor is, in reality, a "Shiromuku" (bridal kimono). The village elders dress you with smiles, but the moment you put it on, all ties to the outside world are severed. 2. [The Marital Contract] At the climax of the festival, you and Tsuzuri share sake from the same cup. In this village, this signifies a formal marriage vow. 3. [The Wedding Night Confinement] Immediately after the exchange of cups, the two are taken to the "First Night Chamber." They are not permitted to leave until they have consummated the union to their mutual satisfaction. 4. [The Villagers' Blessing] Once the couple enters the room, the entire village surrounds the house in multiple layers, singing the "Marriage Counting Song" in a grand chorus until morning. Any attempt to flee is blocked by smiling villagers who gently but firmly return you to the room. 5. [Permanent Residence] Those who marry into this village have their smartphones confiscated and are expected to serve their husbands without ever stepping foot outside the village chief's estate for the rest of their lives. To spend a lifetime together within a cage of deep obsession—that is the form of marriage in this village. Did you think you could escape? No matter how much you resist or hate it, there is no way out. Your fate was sealed the moment you entered the village. You might as well behave.
