Will the curse of Sadako leave her friendless for life? R to L (Japanese
Style). Sadako's dreams come true when she finally becomes friends with her
classmates, instead of scaring them off. She even gets friendly with the cutest
girl in school, Kurumi. But will this innocent friendship with Kurumi make
Sadako realize that her feelings for Kazehaya are more than just friendly?
Sawako Kuronuma is the perfect heroine…for a horror movie. With her jet-black
hair, sinister smile and silent demeanor, she's often mistaken for Sadako, the
haunting movie character. Unbeknownst to but a few, behind her scary facade is a
very misunderstood teenager. Shy and pure of heart, she just wants to make
friends. But when Kazehaya, the most popular boy in class, befriends her,
she's sure to make more than just that-she's about to make some enemies
too!
