Step back into the ruthless, high-stakes world of 1971 Tokyo, where the line between creative ambition and terrifying insanity completely blurs. Yoshihiko Kurumizawa was once a celebrated name in the manga industry, but now he is drowning in a soul-crushing slump. Rejection after rejection piles up, pushing his pride and sanity to the absolute limit. Just when desperation threatens to break him completely, fate crosses his path with Kensaku Hata, an unassuming young rookie whose raw, breathtaking talent outshines Kurumizawa in every single frame.

Seeing Hata's genius does not inspire the fading veteran. It poisons him. Driven to the brink by envy and the terrifying fear of becoming forgotten history, Kurumizawa hatches a sinister scheme to make that brilliant artwork his own at any cost. Kurumizawa's Folly is an intensely tense, razor-sharp psychological drama that exposes the darkest corners of artistic obsession, jealousy, and betrayal. Prepare yourself for a thrilling, deeply human dive into what happens when an artist's desire for glory turns into complete madness.
