Toxic Daughter: Chi-chan

Years ago, Yua Hayakawa shared a close bond with Chi, an enigmatic girl burdened by a troubled home life and a strange fascination with collecting dead insects. However, time has driven them apart, leaving the two estranged for years. Now, Chi rarely attends school, and her sudden reappearance in class—wearing battered gym clothes and clutching a handful of lifeless bugs—sends shockwaves through the room. The resulting disruption catches the attention of Koudai, a seemingly flawless student who quickly devises a plan to rescue Chi from her bleak circumstances, insisting that Yua assist him in the effort. Yet beneath Koudai’s polished exterior lies an unsettling ambiguity, as pristine appearances rarely guarantee noble intentions. As Yua is pulled back into Chi’s orbit, she begins to realize that the shadows surrounding her former friend run far deeper than childhood eccentricities. The darkness harbored within Chi proves to be far more perilous than Yua could have ever anticipated, transforming what began as a misguided rescue mission into a harrowing descent into hidden malice.
