----------------------
Machigerita takes the pen to hand to present an aesthetic heart wrenching dark horror fantasy.
Welcome to Machigerita's world.
Unique world views, values, morals, emotions.
And... madness.
This summer, vocaloid producer Machigerita, who has built a reputation for his "Gensou Kyouki Kyoku", will invite you to the deepest chasms of karma.
─────What has been written in this book is a tragedy that has happened in some world somewhere.
Note:
"Gensou Kyouki Kyoku" (songs of illusion [and] madness) are types of songs like the ones Machigerita produces, obviously, but also include songs like "Madara Cult" and "Nusunde Hiraite, Rasetsu to Mukuro".

Preface
---Blue and dark.
A world enclosed by the deep and dark "Darkwoods".
In this book the tragedy and despair that happened in that world are written down.
I do not know what you think, what you wish for, what you envision when you read this.
However, (at the least) I have the moral duty to record the tragedy and despair that happened in this world of the "Darkwoods", so that they will not be forgotten.
When you continue to read this book, I'd like for you to turn the pages understanding what is written and storing the events somewhere in your mind, so you will not forget.
The story that is recorded in this book is,
of events that really happened,
in the "Darkwoods" world that exists somewhere.
Right now, where would you be reading this book?
In your mundane world, the same as always?
----------------------
-p3-
Is that what you really think?
What if, maybe, without you realizing, you have already entered the world of the "Darkwoods"?
How is it - not knowing in which world you are?
Where you came into the world, where you started living, where you are living right now. All these things, can you explain them?
With concrete proof, can you put it into words?
The things and people you believe in.
The things you look at, touch, feel.
Not everything of that is real, you know.
So that's why I write it down here.
That world and,
this world are,
connected somewhere.
