A beautifully illustrated collection of heartwarming, Cinderella-inspired tales set in a uniquely Japanese world. Each of the five stories follows a heroine born into hardship—neglect, betrayal, or confinement—who finds happiness and love through an unexpected marriage. Featuring everything from gentle dragon gods to mysterious ayakashi, this anthology proves that even the most fragile souls can bloom when touched by kindness.

A ZERO-SUM anthology of Japanese-style Cinderella stories, primarily adaptations of short stories published in Syosetu.
