Something lurks in the flower ceiling. A human sacrifice packed in a box. A curse that threaten the school. A deceitful beast. A shapeless monster. As the two confront one supernatural challenge after another, they eventually come face to face with the very thing they have been turning away from. "If it weren't for you, I would still be an ogre." A woman with a human soul in an ogre's body and a girl with a monstrous soul in a human body. The connection between the two is a story that will be sealed with blood. (Source: Gagaga Bunko, translated) *Note: Winner of the Grand Prize in the 17th Shogakukan Light Novel Award.*
