Bokura wa Dokonimo Hirakanai

“I will protect you with my magic.” These cryptic words were spoken to me by Miki Kouzuki, our school’s most breathtaking girl—and an undeniable delusionist. Yet, the moment we began dating, the world around me violently shifted off its axis. A creeping darkness took hold of my mind, whispering violent urges: “Ah… I want to kill someone.” The clanking sound of chains echoed in the silence, though when I looked down, there was nothing binding me at all. This unraveling did not stop with me. My delinquent best friend and our rigidly straight-laced class representative soon began to fracture alongside Miki and myself. As the invisible chains of our sanity snapped one by one, we were drawn toward a shared destination born from our collective descent into madness. Where exactly that breaking point would lead us remained the only question left to answer. Originally published in 2005, the novel was later revised and re-released by author Mikage in 2016. This updated edition features new illustrations by Yoshitoshi Abe and carries the subtitle *There are no facts, only interpretations.*
