Iwaihime

Each generation, the sons of the Susuhara family strike out on their own when they reach the right age. Self-reliantly they refine their minds and their bodies, until at last they become men. Suzumu has prepared for this day for a long time, learning the skills that he will need. Living alone, he attends Susuda Prefectural High School. He should have joined as a freshman, and not as a transfer—but he was delayed. His days are not only easy but pleasant. In his Class 2-A, everyone is having fun. But there's her. Toé Kurokami. She's... certainly a wonder. How else to describe her? She never lets go of the Japanese doll that she hugs constantly to her chest. There are whispers that its hair grows when nobody is looking. That it's cursed. It's no wonder they whisper. That's one creepy doll. That Suzumu's path crosses hers could be fate... Could be? Not “could be.” It's fate. Steam page]

Hajakenshou. Crush evil, spread the truth. It is said that each generation, upon reaching a certain age, all boys of the Susuharai family leave home and become independent. Then, relying only on themselves, they train body and soul until they are accepted as adults. And so I prepared myself for this day, learning a great many things so I'd be ready to live on my own. Susuda Prefectoral High School. My new school. Originally, I planned to enter in first year rather than transfer in second year. Life at school is carefree, and even pleasant. Everyone has a great time in class 2-A. There's just... her, Toe Kurokami. "Weird" doesn't begin to describe her. Always holding that Japanese doll against her chest, never letting go for a second. Some whisper it is a cursed doll, whose hair grows when no one is looking. But it's just an uncanny doll, with nothing special about it. Yet, perhaps my meeting that girl was fate... No, it was fate.
