Summary
Experience a haunting tale in Demon Child, a Japanese light novel that seamlessly weaves together elements of fantasy, horror, mystery, school life, and seinen genres. The narrative follows student teacher Hirose as he investigates the peculiar circumstances surrounding student Kaname Takasato, who reappeared with no memory after being 'spirited away.' Takasato's enigmatic aura draws both fascination and fear from his peers, with rumors swirling about the dire consequences of provoking him. As Hirose delves deeper into Takasato's past, he bears witness to the unsettling events that unfold, each more chilling than the last. Intriguingly, the novel connects with the Twelve Kingdoms series, taking place post-Skies of Dawn and intersecting with events in Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Sora, delivering a spellbinding narrative filled with suspense and mystery.

Description

When student teacher Hirose returns to his alma mater for a few weeks, he notices strange events seem to be revolving around a student, Kaname Takasato. As Hirose soon learns, Takasato was said to have been “spirited away” and then mysteriously reappearing one year later without any memories of where he had been or what had happened to him.

While some students are fascinated with Takasato, others have taken to avoiding him, particularly as rumours emerge that bad things tend to happen to anyone who tries to upset Takasato. As Hirose tries to learn more about Takasato, he soon witnesses firsthand the strange occurrences surrounding Takasato as the consequences grow ever more severe and horrifying.

The author later worked certain events from this novel into the Twelve Kingdoms series. Chronologically this novel takes place after the fourth Twelve Kingdoms book, Skies of Dawn (風の万里 黎明の空; Kaze no Banri, Reimei no Sora) and some events are covered in book six (黄昏の岸 暁の天; Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Sora).
