## Description
The first title by NEKO WORKs's sister brand, Chatte Noire.
A visual novel epic filled with madness and a complex mix of love and hate.

* Let's celebrate—the birth of this nightmare.*

In a time long past, the oppressed sparked a rebellion with the aid of a "box" introduced by a stranger.

With time, these once subjugated individuals thrived as the prestigious Seven Noble Families. Yet, the Shiki, at the helm of this lineage, faced a dilemma due to the absence of male successors. This led them to welcome a young man from beyond their borders to continue their legacy.

This young man was named Yasaka Kurou.

His encounter with Kyouko, the Shiki's eldest daughter, started a unique connection. Despite their vastly different lives, a mutual attraction soon blossomed between them.

And on their wedding day—a nightmare was born.

## Characters
### Yasaka Kurou (八坂 久朗)
A true masterpiece of House Yasaka's craftsmanship, Kurou is presented to House Shiki as their crowning achievement.

Recognizing the immense potential lurking within his singular talents, House Shiki deftly maneuvers to bring him under their wing, eager to cultivate and exploit his gifts for their own ends.

### Yasaka Io (八坂 依桜)
Io is the steward of the Yasaka household, a lineage specializing in nurturing premium human talent from a young age, later selling these cultivated individuals as 'commodities'. This practice has led the Yasaka family to be shunned by the island's inhabitants, including the Seven Prominent Families, due to the controversial nature of their business.

Despite her youthful appearance, which belies her actual age, Io carries an air of condescension that might puzzle those unacquainted with her. To the casual observer, she appears no older than a child of twelve, yet she has already witnessed the passing of at least five decades.

She thinks Kurou of the Yasaka household's magnum opus, and it brings her great pride as a scientist when the Shiki household decides to have Kurou marry the only daughter of the Shiki.
