Kara no Shoujo - The Second Episode

In the years before Japan marched to war and the world descended into chaos, deep within the snow-locked mountains of the north lay the hamlet of Hitogata. Here, ancient customs compelled the villagers to worship clay dolls. One night during their festival, a woman was murdered, and whispers spread of a curse—divine punishment for those who dared to seize their god’s power. December 1957. Nearly two years have passed since the events of Kara no Shoujo. Reiji Tokisaka’s little sister, Yukari, saves a man from suicide—only to find he is a victim of the returning curse. Reiji steps in to break a cycle of obsession that has festered since before the war, but he remains haunted by his own demons. Meanwhile, a cult rises from a six-year silence—what sinister plan do they harbor? Curses may be the weapons of gods, but it is always human hands that wield the knife.
