The internet is full of creepypastas, cryptid sightings, tales of paranormal activity, and unsolved disappearances. These are mostly rumors and pranks fueled by trolls—entertainment. But the unlucky few learn the hard way that some legends are true. Many of these unfortunate souls are doomed, but their luck may change if they cross paths with the boy in the red hood. He roams from town to town and appears wherever strange things occur. Is he a light in the dark? Or living proof that monsters are all too real...?
Kadokawa started releasing the novel series in June 2015, and published the 26th volume on June 11. The 27th volume will ship on December 10.
Yuki's manga adaptation ran in Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Gene magazine in 2021-2022. Kadokawa published the manga adaptation in one volume in March 2022.
Yen Press published the sixth novel volume on May 20, and published the manga in one volume on May 27.
