When society looks away, what kind of life is left in the shadows?
Set in a near-future Japan where society quietly discards those who don’t fit, this story follows Ubume, a young woman living on the margins as a “mujina”—someone who exists outside the system. As violence, alienation, and strange underground economies collide, Ubume navigates a world that refuses to see her while demanding everything from her. Dark, unsettling, and painfully human, Inio Asano delivers a sharp look at loneliness, survival, and what it means to exist when society turns away.
