My Dearest Self With Malice Aforethought

Eiji Urashima is just another college student—awkward, inexperienced, and secretly longing for the comfort of a romantic connection. His days blur into a monotonous cycle of classes and solitary evenings, where the idea of a girlfriend feels like a distant fantasy rather than a tangible reality. That is, until one morning shatters his mundane existence: he awakens to find a beautiful young woman sleeping soundly beside him, claiming to be his lover. Dazed and thrilled, Eiji has no recollection of how she got there or how their relationship supposedly began, yet the evidence lies right next to him. But the strangeness does not end there. When his concerned friend arrives, Eiji is met with alarming news—not only did he allegedly get into a violent brawl, but three entire days have inexplicably vanished from his memory. No matter how hard he strains, he cannot account for that missing time, nor can he piece together the events that led to the mysterious woman in his bed. As fragments of unease creep into his daily life, Eiji begins to realize that the answers are buried not in the world around him, but deep within his own fractured mind. The most terrifying question is not what happened to him, but what dark, unrecognizable version of himself took control during those lost seventy-two hours.
