Am Fuße des Mt. Fuji, ganz in der Nähe von Tokyo, liegt der Aokigahara Jukai. Dieser weitläufige, dicht bewachsene Wald ist eines der schönsten urwüchsigen Gebiete Japans – und eines der berüchtigsten. Denn seit den 1960er Jahren gilt der Aokigahara als unheiliger Magnet für Selbstmörder. Ständig durchkämmen Polizeikräfte und die Feuerwehr den Wald auf der Suche nach Leichen, in dem pro Jahr bis zu 100 Menschen verschwinden. Die Behörden gehen jedoch von weitaus mehr Suizidfällen aus, die jedoch aufgrund der teilweise undurchdringlichen Vegetation des Waldes nicht gefunden werden können.

Ich hatte nur einen kleinen Spaziergang geplant. Einen kurzen Abstecher in das unheimliche Waldgebiet, das ich von meinem wunderlichen Onkel geerbt hatte. Ich konnte ja nicht ahnen, dass dieser riesige, uralte Wald einige sehr finstere Geheimnisse bereithielt, die in unserer Welt gar nicht existieren durften. Und ganz bestimmt hatte ich nicht mit den drei einschüchternden, gehörnten Kreaturen gerechnet, die gar nicht daran dachten, mich wieder gehen zu lassen. Sie hatten nämlich mein Geheimnis gewittert: Meine Jungfräulichkeit.
