Sugiru Juunana no Haru

Every night, Takashi is tormented by a recurring vision of a desperate woman pleading for someone not to take her child away. Alongside these distressing dreams, he frequently notices unsettling shadows lingering just outside his window. For as long as he can remember, he has done everything in his power to dismiss these eerie phenomena and maintain a sense of normalcy in his daily life. However, as his seventeenth birthday draws near, the supernatural occurrences intensify. The vague silhouettes outside his room sharpen into distinct forms, and the haunting nighttime visions grow increasingly vivid and difficult to ignore. This escalating paranormal pressure begins to exact a heavy toll on his psyche, fundamentally altering who he is. Once known for his gentle and compassionate nature, Takashi gradually withdraws from those around him, replacing his warmth with stark indifference before ultimately turning sharp and cruel toward everyone in his life. Those closest to him are left bewildered by this drastic transformation, unable to understand what happened to the kind boy they once knew. As the milestone birthday approaches, an unsettling question lingers: what hidden connection exists between Takashi’s sudden, chilling change in personality and the arrival of his seventeenth year?
