The first short story collection in the 'Lise Series'
The quintessence of a dangerous and beautiful gothic mystery
A hidden episode surrounding a girl standing on the border between reality and fantasy.
Riku Onda, who created his own unique world of works between genre literature and pure literature, presents a collection of short stories from his popular early works, the "Rise Series."
The 'Rise Series' is a series that shares a worldview centered around the main character 'Mizuno Rise', and after a scene that could be considered a trailer was first drawn in 'March is a Red Serpent', it officially opened with 'The Fruit That Sinks in the Barley Sea'.
Among them, "The Flower Garden of Dawn" is the first collection of short stories published solely as part of the "Rise Series," including works scattered in other short story collections and magazines by Onda Riku, as well as new works.
In addition to the spin-off series featuring familiar characters from previous works such as Johan, the principal, Reiji and Reiko, and Hijiri, it also features the protagonist Rise's childhood and present.
You can see the past of the boarding school, which is the main stage of the series, and the events that occur between the main stories, "The Fruit Sinking in the Barley Sea," "The Bones of the Lily at Dusk," and "The Snake in the Rose."
For readers who have been following Lise's growth, this work is like another gift, and the series' characteristic ominous atmosphere permeates throughout, adding to the fun of finding connections to the main story.

Into the book
This is our elegant home.
Whether it rots inside or not depends on your own mindset.
--- p.10 From “Night of Crystal, Morning of Jade”
The existence of this school is not generally known to the public.
However, due to its special environment and characteristics, it is actually widely known among certain wealthy people both at home and abroad.
This is our luxurious home.
And our beautiful us.
It is impossible to get out from here.
It is impossible to escape his sight.
He is the owner of this place.
Although there are those who are aware that it exists within us, there are not many who resist it.
Most people are used to that fact and accept it.
There are very rare people who cannot accept it.
--- p.58 From “We Floated on the Sea of Barley”
When I was young, the world was very flat.
Even after I came home from elementary school, I had to wait a long time for my older brothers to come back.
We moved here as soon as we entered the second year of high school, and at that time, Minoru was already a high school student and Wataru was a third-year middle school student preparing for the high school entrance exam.
I didn't mind being alone, but I felt a vague sense of discomfort with the noisy kids in my class who just kept bumping into me like rubber balls. So, I was much more suited to reading books at home, practicing the piano, listening to old records, or helping my grandmother.
My grandmother didn't give the impression of being very talkative, but if you asked her questions, she would teach you a lot of things.
He was strict, even though he didn't nag.
I found that strictness and distance to be pleasant.
I preferred a neatly organized world to one of extravagance.
--- pp.94-95 from "Cultivation"
'Cradle' is a child who wants to be protected in a greenhouse so that he or she does not suffer from the harsh storms of the world.
A 'yangseongso' is a child who has a special function or talent and lives a life tailored to that.
'Graveyard' is a child who does not want the world to know about his existence, a child who wants to hide his existence from the world, or a child who wishes to be treated as if he never existed in the first place.
Hijiri was convinced that the academy's true purpose was the 'graveyard'.
‘Cradle’ and ‘training school’ are only secondary reasons.
--- p.139 From "Lunar Eclipse"
I left Japan and established a new life in England, and successfully entered university.
After a busy day, I thought I could finally take a breather and enjoy a long-awaited, leisurely vacation, but I never thought it would turn out like this.
Survive.
Think about what you can do to make that happen.
Suddenly, my grandmother's voice came back to me.
Don't worry about what you can't do.
Don't look for meaning in the results.
But, be sure to learn something from the experience and use it as a lesson.
Whether it rots inside or not depends on your own mindset.

Publisher's Review
A boarding school on a beautiful and ominous swamp
Six stories born on the gothic mystery stage
In the middle of the wetlands, there is a private boarding school known only to those in the know.
Depending on their individual circumstances, students are placed in a "cradle" for overprotection, a "training center" for special training, and a "graveyard" group from which they hope to never leave.
What on earth is going on there?
"Night of Crystal, Morning of Jade" is a mystery film based on a nursery rhyme that depicts a series of incidents involving suicide. The film also features a strange atmosphere created by the popularity of pranks using paper dolls among students.
Yohan, who has a deep connection with Lise, appears as the main character and sets out to solve the case.
In "We Floated on a Sea of Barley," the principal's past is highlighted, and an episode surrounding "poison" fuels ominous rumors that circulate around the school.
The story of "Lunar Eclipse" begins with the recollection of graduate student Hijiri on a night when the moon disappears.
Shortly after Rise leaves school, a new math teacher appears, and Hijiri feels an inexplicable sense of unease around him.
Like this, ominous signs always hover around the students who appear in the 'Reese Series'.
Like the original novels, "The Garden of Dawn" continues the series' signature dangerous charm by depicting children growing up harshly, once again immersing readers in the world of gothic mystery.
An expansion of the story that was not fully revealed
The thrill of discovering a hidden clue
The appeal of the spin-off work in "The Garden of Dawn" lies in its ability to explore the depth of the world and characters that were not fully revealed in the main story.
By following the story of a completely different perspective or character within a familiar worldview, you can enjoy the main story more richly.
"The Boat Going Up the Hill" is currently the latest work in the "Rise Series" and contains the past of Reiji and Reiko, who appeared in "The Fruit Sinking in the Barley Sea".
As the story unfolds, you will feel as if a missing piece of a puzzle has been filled in, including the reason why Reiko, a girl, had no choice but to grow up as a boy and the reason why Reiji came to take care of Reiko.
This story is especially special to fans because it was written after conducting a survey targeting fans of the series about which character they would like to see a spin-off of.
"Training" is the story of when elementary school student Rise stayed at the 'Lily Garden', as mentioned in "The Lily Bones at Dusk" with the line "You lived here too, Rise, when you were young, right?"
It was actually written before "The Bones of the Lily at Dusk" and several elements of the series are foreshadowed in it, such as Rise's feelings for her cousin Wataru.
Lastly, "The Picture Book Without Pictures" is a short story published before "The Snake in the Rose" and gives a glimpse into Alice's first encounter.
As an adult, Lise gets caught up in a terrorist incident at a foreign hotel. It has a strong spy film feel like "Snake in the Rose" and has connections to "The Bones of the Lily at Dusk", so it's a must-see for fans of the "Lise series."
