Suzume thought shelving rare tomes was the height of “excitement”—until she stumbled upon a battered Oz spinoff and met Kakashi, a meltdown-prone AI who might be more “alive” than any machine should be. Now she’s juggling cryptic witch warnings, surreal dreams of a crumbling emerald castle, and a stoic ex-military barista tinkering with tech that borders on magic. As Kakashi’s circuit-frying meltdowns threaten to derail everything, Suzume scrambles to piece together the truth—especially about the silver-haired stranger haunting her nights. Between late-night fixes and borderline mystical mishaps, she’s determined to uncover what’s really going on… assuming Kakashi doesn’t blow a fuse first.
