(4) YA Teenager Reiko, blindly consumed with hatred and vengeance, has been sent to stay with relatives in Tokyo. While visiting a historical village, she's transported between time periods into the life of Miyu, a nineteenth-century girl with her own demons. The mood remains dark and compelling as Reiko begins spiraling into madness, but she remains an unlikable caricature, and the ending is unrealistically tidy.
