Riko Murakami

A misanthropic and eccentric old man from the Netherlands moves to Tokyo and grows closer to the abused Sri Lankan girl next door through music. One day, the old man picks up a letter written in Sinhalese.

The story is set in a near-future Japan - an era where people can freely alter their appearances, resulting in a society teeming with individuals who share the same face. A university student living with her "natural face" finds herself consumed by a growing sense of unease and anxiety after discovering a mysterious "X" mark drawn on her mirror. Eventually, she walks through the doors of the renowned "Rei Face Clinic" and confronts the choice of whether to change her own face...
