Before you make a deal with a girl in a mirror, reflect seriously on the source of the offer. Ichika fails to heed this advice when she attempts to retrieve a lost charm, and suddenly finds herself with the powers of a Djinn at her command. At first things seem wondrous; but as her abilities grow, Ichika’s situation quickly goes from magical to nightmarish. Soon Ichika finds herself drawn into an ever-expanding web of deceptions, lies, and increasingly dangerous situations.
