Tsuzuki finds himself in a bizarre world whose inhabitants are dark parodies of people he knows in the real world.

Can he escape the townspeople's wrath? And will he ever find his way out of the pages of the book and back to the Hall of Candles?
Book 6
Back in the Ministry of Hades, Watari convinces Tsuzuki to help test his new sex change potion. But something's wrong with the formula, and instead of turning into women, they turn into kids!
