Still in search of a way to break the curse cast on her by a witch, Kuro continues on the winding road of her travels. At every turn, she and her colorful band of companions encounter the peculiar and the mysterious—a girl who lives inside the mirrors at a mansion in the woods; a wind-up woman in a dark forest; a tree that grants wishes for a price; a patchwork witch basking in the sunlight filtering through the trees. What curious fellows and wondrous things will Kuro’s journey lead her to next? And can any of them provide Kuro with the one thing she really wants before her time runs out?
