Lonely Castle in the Mirror
Kagami no Kojou
Seven Tokyo students are skipping school, isolated in their bedrooms, until their mirrors start to glow. A single touch pulls them into an ornate castle that feels ripped straight out of a dark fairy tale. It's got electrical outlets but no real food or water, and it's run by a moody masked girl called the Wolf Queen. During school hours, this becomes their refuge. The premise is simple: there's a hidden key somewhere in the castle that grants one wish. Find it before the school year ends, and you're golden. But there's a brutal catch—everyone has to leave by 5 PM every day, or they don't make it out alive. As the days go on, the real purpose of the game becomes clear. Only the students willing to open up and share their deepest struggles will actually survive. One by one, they reveal their stories: a boy drowning in expensive gadgets but starved for real affection, another dealing with sudden, unexplained rejection, a girl living under the threat of her abusive stepfather. The castle forces them to confront each other's pain, and through that vulnerability—through friendship, empathy, and sacrifice—seven isolated kids begin to truly understand one another and find a way out.
