My Friend You Bow To No One

A Name No One Remembers On the last day of summer break, third-year student Sano Rika stood alone on the school rooftop, watching the sunset. That same night, she jumped. When classes resumed, no one spoke about her. The teachers ignored the empty seat by the window. The students moved on as if she had never existed. But I remember her. I remember the way she looked at me that evening, the way her cold fingers brushed against my arm. And now, I can still hear her voice. I wake up with the taste of blood in my mouth. Shadows stretch and whisper in my room at night. And in my dreams, Rika stands on the rooftop, calling my name. No one else remembers her. But something tells me that’s exactly what she wanted. Or maybe—what she needed.

Rencananya, Selin dan sahabatnya Maxi malam itu mau menginap di rumahnya Lucian, bersama Aria (pacarnya Lucian) dan juga Dylan (sahabatnya Lucian) untuk mengerjakan tugas kelompok dari kampus. Mereka sudah kenal Lucian dari semester pertama, tetapi memang tak pernah main ke rumahnya. Hanya saja, mereka tahu bahwa ibunya Lucian sudah lama meninggal dan ia diurus oleh ayahnya seorang. Mereka juga sudah pernah melihat foto ayahnya Lucian, tetapi hanya sebatas selfie. Itu pun foto berdua dengan Lucian. Nah, hari itu mereka sepakat untuk mengerjakan tugas kelompok di rumah Lucian karena infonya, ayahnya Lucian akan kembali besok malam karena masih berada dalam perjalanan bisnis ke luar negeri. Jadi, ketika Selin menumpang mandi di dalam salah satu kamar mandi tamu rumahnya Lucian, Selin benar-benar tak berekspektasi bahwa dia akan melihat wujud ayahnya Lucian yang ternyata bertubuh tinggi dan kekar itu tengah berdiri di depannya, hanya memakai boxer dan membawa handuk, sedikit terkejut karena melihat Selin keluar dari kamar mandi tamunya. Orang yang seharusnya kembali besok malam, mengapa bisa ada di sini?! Lagi pula, buat apa mandi di kamar mandi tamu?! Tapi....sialan. Selin baru sadar bahwa dirinya saat ini hanya memakai handuk! "Astaga! Astaga ya Tuhan, maaf, Om!" teriak Selin sembari berlari terbirit-birit ke luar kamar. Sial, ini luar biasa memalukan! Saat Selin sudah mulai tenang, Selin berjalan di koridor seraya membatin. Bukannya Selin mau berpikiran mesum, tetapi astaga, itu betulan ayahnya Lucian? Ya Tuhan, seksi sekali. Pria dewasa yang matang. Gagah...dan...punyanya juga terlihat besar di boxer itu- -eh, sebentar. Baju ganti Selin ketinggalan di kamar tamu tadi!

As they go and solve cases, their friendship blossoms, especially when two people, Riho Yoshihara, Akira's childhood, biracial friend, and Htet Kawa, a half-Japanese, half-Burmese junior detective from Yokohama, come along in their various missions, both involving the supernatural and the overworld.

A happy family, a loving girlfriend, good friends, and reliable coworkers. I had all of those. Until I fell into a coma. They registered me as brain dead. I wasn't. I heard everything. I heard my girlfriend and parents unable to wait for me to die. Waiting for them to cash out the insurance. I heard people coming in, none of them wanting to be at my side. Only out of obligation or to get pity. Only one person came before they pulled the pug on my life. The friend that supported me all my life. Creeped me out at times but always just so reliable. "I know they killed you. I'm going to kill them all. Everyone that's hurt you. I don't know who killed you so I'll kill them all. I should have locked you up when I had the chance. Why didn't I? I'll follow you after you die. Once everyone else is dead I'll follow you and I'll be a girl next time. I lock you up. You'll never leave me." Although those words creeped me out I realized that meant he was the only one who cared. I vowed in the next life, who cares if he's a little creepy. He actually cares about me. Then I died, and woke up. 7 years in the past. This time I'll avoid the pain. Hey yandere best friend. I don't need anyone else. *Trigger Warning* Violence, Straight up Torture, Stalking
