Volume 1 of Ena Hino's ``That Girl I Picked Up in a Back Alley Was the Heroine of an Otome Game After the Bad Ending'' was released today, March 9th, by KADOKAWA's Dragon Comics Age. This is a comic adaptation of the Pumpkin Mask novel.
Although it is a classic otome game, the software ``Kizuna no Mahou to Sacred Night Party'', also known as ``Kizuyor'', became famous as a ``depressing game'' due to the content of the bad ending. The protagonist is reincarnated into that world as Ash Leben, the second son of a lowly aristocrat who does not appear in the game, but he cannot remember the most important thing: the heroine's face. Meanwhile, on his way home from the school, Ash comes across a female student crouching in the rain. Ash realizes that she is the heroine of the game, Fine, and is convinced that the story is already heading for a bad ending. Ash stands up to help Fine, who is placed in a harsh environment.
