Lonely Castle In The Mirror is based on the 2017 Japanese novel by Mizuki Tsujimura. It was first published by Poplar Publishing in May 2017. The novel then received a manga adaptation, illustrated by Tomo Taketomi, which was then serialized under Shueisha’s Ultra Jump from June 2019 to February 2022.
Penguin Books has published the novel in English for the United Kingdom, and describes it as:
In a tranquil neighborhood of Tokyo, seven teenagers wake to find their bedroom mirrors are shining. At a single touch, they are pulled from their lonely lives into to a wondrous castle filled with winding stairways, watchful portraits and twinkling chandeliers. In this new sanctuary, they are confronted with a set of clues leading to a hidden room where one of them will be granted a wish. But there’s a catch: if they don’t leave by five o’clock, they will die. As time passes, a devastating truth emerges: those who dare to share their stories will be punished.
