【Synopsis】

Purify the mad world of fairy tales. Don't worry — you can restart as many times as needed.

A boy named Mikuu Mahiru, whose sister suffers from an incurable illness, discovers a bright red book in the library of a juvenile detention center. Driven by curiosity, he opens it — only to find a tragic tale completely different from the familiar story of Little Red Riding Hood. Before he realizes it, Mahiru finds himself standing before a mysterious girl in a pure white space. "Let's begin — this is truly, without a doubt, your story." Thus begins a twisted cycle: failure means death, and the mad fairy tale repeats endlessly. Unclear victory conditions, maximum difficulty, no allies. What awaits at the end of this tale? "Have a good trip. I'm wishing you luck — go and die."

The original light novel has received high acclaim, ranking 2nd in Anime! Anime!'s "Light Novels and Novels We Want Animated" ranking (first half of 2026).

Additionally, an ASMR voice drama featuring Tamada Miyu as heroine Meiji and Izumi Fuka as the guide shepherd has been released, topping DLsite's overall ranking.
