Mysterious Disappearances review
In today’s anime review, we follow the story of Sumireko Ogawa, a 28-year-old writer who was once a child prodigy in literature. Despite her past success, she now faces hostility from editors and struggles to publish her work and make progress on her new novel. Feeling resigned to a quiet life as a book clerk, everything changes when she reads poetry from a mysterious book and inexplicably transforms back into a child.
Thrilled to have regained her inspiration and youth, Sumireko soon learns from her colleague Ren Adashino, an expert in the occult, that this transformation will eventually kill her unless she reads more verses from the book. Reluctantly agreeing to return to her adult form, Sumireko decides to assist Ren and his sister, Oto, in their paranormal investigations. While Ren’s true intentions remain unclear, Sumireko is determined to turn these new, exciting experiences into a lasting literary success.
