I found love in this brutal world...

Introduction
The first feature film directed by Daiki Tanaka, beautifully and cruelly depicting a love story of a "killer who wants to go to the world of anime" and the cries of lonely souls living in modern society. A miraculous fusion of slasher horror films and elements of Japanese anime and cosplay, this is a new kind of horror film, which received rave reviews as a unique splatter love story that shocks the heart.　
Synopsis
Mai (Momona NARAHA), abused by her parents, struggles to overcome her childhood memories. She works in a pickup-bar where she and her best friend Kana prey on gullible men. Mai meets a cosplay dressing serial-killer (Sojiro YOSHIMURA) who becomes intrigued by her. They begin a relationship. Mai hides her emotional scars, the killer hides his identity. As they grow closer, an invisible shadow hovers over both of them. But inevitably, their hidden natures and urges lead them down the path of annihilation.
