The Yurei Trade

At the elite Shirasagi Academy in Shin-Kyoto, a scholarship girl’s theft of a vintage fountain pen draws her into a hidden world where student council politics mask a brutal trafficking ring stretching from the sun-scorched plains of Kargadan to Japan’s neon pleasure quarters. Forced into the school’s secret hospitality guild, she discovers that classrooms are boardrooms for the Kuroiwa syndicate, and every friendship is a transaction. To rewrite her fate and free the women who vanish into the Yurei pipeline, she must master the art of betrayal, forge an alliance with a disgraced detective, and orchestrate a rebellion that will spill from the school gates into the underworld, leaving no chain unbroken.
