Since the Christian missionary Miguel was sentenced to death by the shogunate during the Edo period, cast into the crater of Mount Sengoku, the volcano has been spewing thin strands of volcanic glass. Revered by today's inhabitants as "divine Amagami," the "golden heavenly hair" covers the entire village. Everyone seems happy and content—yet the young Kyoko is said to bring further bliss when gazing at the night sky filled with golden threads and a savior who is not the one expected... And this is just the beginning of a mystery horror story about the existence of life in the universe, penned by horror manga master Junji Ito.
