Synopsis

In a tranquil neighborhood of Tokyo, seven teenagers wake to find their bedroom mirrors are shining. At a single touch, they are pulled from their lonely lives to a wondrous castle filled with winding stairways, watchful portraits and twinkling chandeliers. In this new sanctuary, they are confronted with a set of clues leading to a hidden room where one of them will be granted a wish. But there's a catch: if they don't leave the castle by five o'clock, they will be punished. As time passes, a devastating truth emerges: only those brave enough to share their stories will be saved.

Went into this fresh, not having seen the movie. Perhaps it would be better to actually see the characters spending time together rather than reading it, to make it more believable that they have grown to care a lot for each other and help heal their emotional wounds.

Not really what was promised in the premise, they go about it in the most boring way possible (just ignoring it until they’re like “hey, maybe we should think about it” suddenly). Lots of padding and explanation-dumps. One of which I was like, “that’s your theory, how do you figure that and not this instead?” ...
