Ghosts of the Ballot

In the fictional nation of Seiwa, a landmark lawsuit challenges the severe vote-value disparity in the latest general election. When witnesses tied to the case begin dying mysteriously, journalist Mahiru Yuzuki uncovers a chilling pattern—each victim once knew the revered former Supreme Court justice Takataro Sakuraba as a young man hiding a monstrous crime. Sakuraba, now the embodiment of judicial integrity, will kill anyone who threatens his legacy. As Mahiru digs deeper, she realizes that the true measure of a just society is whether it can give a voice—and a verdict—to the dead.
