TOKYO NOVEL
The city remembers what your mind tried to erase.
Drawn by an instinct he can’t explain, a well-known Italian writer returns to Tokyo — a city that feels both foreign and familiar, alive with echoes of a life he can no longer recall. Hoping to find clarity, he settles into a serene apartment in Azabujuban, surrounded by quiet streets and the muted hum of the city. But beneath that calm surface, unease begins to take hold. Whispers drift through the walls. Shadows move when no one is there. Words appear on his screen that he never wrote. The more he tries to regain control, the more the city seems to reach back — watching, responding, remembering.
Amid this growing strangeness, he meets Yui, a young Japanese actress whose presence feels impossibly familiar, as if she carries a trace of something he has lost. Around her, time folds, memories bleed through the present, and reality bends into unsettling shapes. What begins as a search for inspiration becomes a descent into fear and fascination, where every answer leads deeper into the unknown. Tokyo Novel is a psychological mystery that drifts between the real and the imagined — a haunting exploration of guilt, identity, and the quiet terror of confronting the past we’ve spent our lives trying to forget.
