Sotoba was a quiet, secluded village where 15-year old Megumi Shimizu lived in. For Megumi, who desired the glamorous lifestyle of the city, living in Sotoba was terribly agonizing, especially with her annoying friend Kaori Tanaka (15) around. The only two things that interested her in the village were a family from the city that had moved into the mansion, and a boy named Natsuno Yuuki (15), who seemed to share the same desire to move out of Sotoba and into the city. When Sotoba was hit by a string of odd deaths which concerned the villagers, Megumi chose to ignore it, and was more excited at the fact that a family from the city moved into the mansion. One day, ignoring Kaori''s remark about the dark aura radiating from the mansion, Megumi decided to pay a visit to the mansion.
Later that night, Megumi never returned to her home, and a search party was then formed to look for her. What happened to Megumi? Who are these city people? What is happening to the quiet village of Sotoba? Read Shiki and find out for yourself...
