Book Introduction
The latest full-length installment in the long-awaited 'Lise Series'!
The pinnacle of authentic Gothic mystery
The story of college student Lee Se, who uncovers the secrets of her cursed family.
“It took a little while, but Lee Se is getting stronger and stronger
I came back looking beautiful.
“I definitely want to meet you.” ―Riku Onda (from a post-publication interview)
★Series cumulative sales exceed 1 million copies★
The quintessence of a dangerous and beautiful gothic mystery
The girl who stands on the border between reality and fantasy is back!
The "Rise Series," beloved by Onda Riku fans, is being reissued.
The early popular "Rise Series" by Riku Onda, who created his own unique world of works between genre literature and pure literature, has been published by Banta.
The 'Rise series' is a series that shares a worldview centered around the main character 'Mizuno Rise', and has led the 'Onda Riku craze' by delicately implementing a cruel and gorgeous gothic mystery world.
Among them, the latest full-length work in the 'Rise Series', 'Snake in the Rose', tells the story that fans have been most looking forward to, namely, the activities of Rise as she grows up to be a college student.
The story of Lise, who is studying abroad in England, being invited to the noble family's mansion 'Black Rose House' and solving the mystery of her cursed family is perfectly captured within the genre of a classic gothic mystery.
Korean fans were unable to hide their excitement at the news that the next story in the 'Rise Series', which had only been continued in short stories, was being published in Japan after 17 years, and they even hoped for an official domestic release.
This 'Lise Series' reprint project presents four early works that have been highly requested for reprinting by domestic fans, including 『March is a Red Serpent』, 『Fruit Sinking in the Barley Sea』, 『The Bones of Lilies at Dusk』, and 『The Fantasy of Black and White (Volume 1), (Volume 2)』, along with this book.
These stories, which will bring a faint nostalgia to fans who have long awaited a reunion with Rise, and a strong impression and lingering feeling to readers who are meeting Rise for the first time, will once again prove why the 'Rise series' has been consistently loved for over 20 years.
Furthermore, the illustrations that hint at the characters' fates and the luxurious binding have increased the collection value, and we aimed to capture the fascinating world that has not faded even after decades.

Into the book
They seem to have unconsciously accepted that this Asian girl would not infringe on their rights.
I thought it would be okay to leave this beautiful and elegant doll in my room.
There are no creatures in this world more boring than those who have nothing but their class as a privilege.
They are antiques from an unvisited museum.
It is not displayed beautifully, nor is it sold for money, it is just stored.
But Rise Mizuno is not just an elegant doll.
That calm, unparalleled naturalness sent ripples through Arthur's mind.
It seemed as if there was definitely something unsettling hidden somewhere in her gentle smile.
I know very well that it is natural for a rich daughter who is ignorant of the ways of the world or comes from a high-quality home education.
But she wasn't like that.
She is like a beautiful sword sheath.
Inside is a well-sharpened blade… … .
--- p.61
But no matter how much I tried to forget, I couldn't.
The strange outlines of that terrible object.
The eerie weight and texture created there are imprinted on my mind and will not go away.
Something that was human, something that was once alive and moving.
It was just a lump of flesh lying there.
Someone put it up.
I touched it, lifted it, moved it, felt its weight.
Is that something a person with normal senses would do?
--- p.93
The man grumbled and agreed.
John smiled.
“I am interested in people who use poison.
Putting poison in is surprisingly difficult.
If you don't prepare thoroughly, you might end up in a state of chaos.
I've seen people destroy themselves by using poison on a whim.
“No one is qualified to use poison unless he has thoroughly considered all the possibilities and is confident that he can manage it perfectly.”
“It’s like you’re talking about yourself.
No, I should say that you are the one who is qualified to use poison.”
--- p.138
“Then what about Mr. Lee’s family…….”
“Our family?”
As she said that, Rise's eyes suddenly became hazy and she smiled self-deprecatingly.
“Well, we are related by blood, but we are not related by blood.
So, is it just a matter of vested interests? That's not necessarily true.
But I am certain that the blood in our bodies contains the same components and that the blood is heading to the same place.
“I wonder if they are people who are connected only by that kind of blood flow.”
She muttered to herself, then smiled and looked at Arthur.
Looking at that smiling face, Arthur felt like he had become a child again.
I've seen this smile somewhere before.
A smile that a mature woman, or perhaps an adult woman in her twilight years, gives to a child who still knows nothing and believes that only a bright future lies before her.
--- pp.154-155
“It was something strange.
It's completely different from the British coat of arms.
The omission method is bold, if you will, and it is very sophisticated.
I wondered if perhaps the old Japanese had 'really' seen such a shape in nature.
I sometimes think, maybe the people of the past and I saw the same things differently. If someone from the past were next to me now, wouldn't they see the same dog or flower differently?
Lee Se flinched.
“Even when looking at the same thing, what is reflected in the eyes is different…….”
I repeated it again in my mouth.
“Even if we look at the same thing….”
--- pp.267-268
Are you simply fascinated?
I admit that.
Lise is beautiful, intelligent, mysterious, and courageous.
The fact that she's Alice's friend is also a point-worthy factor, I knew that too.
Alice is more normal than anyone in her family.
Humanly trustworthy.
Since she was a friend chosen by my younger sister, I had basic trust in her.
But something kept bothering me.
There is something inside the character of Lee Se-ra.
Something made me feel like she was sending me some kind of message.

Publisher's Review
“Shh, if you whistle at night, won’t snakes come?”
In a beautiful but cursed mansion
The intruder's murderous intent flashes sharply.
A body split in two is discovered in a stone circle in a rural English village.
The corpse, placed on a giant stone as if it were an offering to heaven, was brutally mutilated into a torso with both hands and head severed, drawing reporters thirsty for a scoop to the scene.
Not long after the incident dubbed the "Altar Murders," another story begins not far from the scene.
A grand party is held at Blackrose House, the grand mansion of the British aristocratic Remington family, to celebrate the head of the family's birthday.
Arthur, the eldest son of the family, is captivated at first sight by the guest 'Rise Mizuno' brought by his younger sister, but at the same time feels a strong sense of wariness.
Why does Lise, who stands out among the boring visitors with her clear-headed and mysterious charm, have a premonition that she will become his 'enemy'?
Soon the party begins, but a series of horrific incidents occur within the grounds of Black Rose House, including the discovery of a body reminiscent of the "Altar Murders" and people collapsing from poison.
Arthur persistently casts suspicious glances at Lise, while the guests are thrown into great confusion and screams and shouts fill the mansion.
However, with a calm face and insight, Lise approaches the truth about Black Rose House.
The truth behind the horrific events that occurred at Blackrose House in the past, a secret the Remington family's ancestors kept silent about from the world.
Are the thorns of a rose or the fangs of a snake aimed at the visitor?
Tempting guests with a splendid death
Festival of Old Ghosts
《The Serpent in the Rose》 is a work that maximizes the identity of the series classified as a genre called 'Gothic Mystery'.
Set in a gloomy, gloomy mansion with a rich history, the story unfolds as events threaten the upper-class guests steeped in pretense and vanity. Classic mystery elements like the "Holy Grail," "threat note," "poisoned wine," and "family secrets" are interspersed throughout, creating a classic reading experience.
After the intense opening of "A Severed Body Revealed in the Fog," a series of mind-boggling events unfold, including the discovery of a body on the mansion grounds, the revelation of a threatening note that has been harassing the head of the family, and moments later, flesh being splattered from somewhere.
Due to the strict police surveillance, no one can leave the mansion until the culprit is caught, and the longer the time spent in helpless isolation, the more anxious the heart becomes, but this sense of isolation instills tension and anticipation for the next incident in the hearts of the readers watching the story.
《The Snake in the Rose》 seduces readers like a noisy festival, making them shiver with its cruelty and eerieness, but at the same time wanting to surrender their whole being.
Reborn as an even more sinister and mysterious being
The cunning trickster Lee Se who confuses readers
《The Snake in the Rose》 uniquely takes the form of a narrator named 'Arthur' observing the main character, Lise.
In Arthur's eyes, Lise is a strange and dangerous intruder.
The conflict between Arthur, who is attracted to Lise but never lets go of his tension, and Lise, who quietly but sharply stalks her prey like a snake with a venom pouch, is another fun aspect of appreciating this work.
Lise, who always appears as a 'girl with a secret' and gets caught up in ominous incidents, is reborn as an even more sinister figure in 'Snake in the Rose' and actively leads readers into a labyrinth.
"The Snake in the Rose" is a work that explodes with the potential of the character Rise, which has been building up since "The Fruit Sinking in the Sea of Barley," and confirms that Mizuno Rise is the driving force behind the series.
Longtime fans of the series will be delighted to see Lise's dark side as she grows into a three-dimensional character, leaving readers in a state of confusion.
