Confession by Nobuyaki Fukumoto/Kaiji Kawaguchi, 312 pages, ⭐⭐⭐
The story follows two friends from the J University mountaineering club, Asai and Ishikura, who are hiking the 3,200-meter peak of Mount Obari. When a storm hits, they become lost, and Ishikura falls and injures his leg. Believing he is about to die, Ishikura confesses to Asai that five years earlier, he murdered a fellow club member, Sayuri Nishida, whose death was reported as an accident. Opportunely, Asai spots a nearby lodge and carries Ishikura there, ensuring their survival while they wait for help. However, Ishikura begins to regret his confession. Sensing this, Asai panics, fearing that he too may be killed for knowing Ishikura's crime.
I received an E-ARC of this one-off manga and it was pretty good! A suspenseful story about two friends who are trapped in a blizzard in an abandoned lodge.
