Scars Beneath the Sakura

In the fictional nation of Hinokuni, the prestigious Seika Academy's Class of 2005 reunites for a televised 20-year anniversary. But when a successful Keiyo Corporation executive is found dead in a ritualistic tableau mimicking a 2003 bullying incident, Detective Akira Tachibana and journalist Hana Park uncover a decades-old wound connecting a forgotten Korean-Hinokunian transfer student to the highest echelons of corporate power. As victims and perpetrators trade places in a deadly game, each revelation becomes a biopsy of society's unhealed historical scars.
