It seems like Sawako Kuronuma would make the ideal horror film heroine. Those around her wrongly name her Sadako because of her menacing grin, quiet manner, and jet-black hair, which bear uncanny resemblance to a terrifying movie character. However, the frightening exterior belies a misunderstood adolescent girl. She only wants to make some friends since she is too shy to fit in. She will undoubtedly make more than just friends when the class popular guy befriends her—she is going to make some enemies as well!
