Original Title	令嬢エミーラの日記
Author	橘 外男
Genre	Detective & Mystery
Author Type	Male Author
Summary	Lady Emira Geirek, daughter of a controversial scholar, trades her elegant London life for the stifling, rain-soaked jungles of Portuguese Angola, assisting her father's obsessive research into gorilla language. Amidst the oppressive humidity and isolation, the men of the expedition slowly succumb to a primal savagery, their spirits mirroring the wild. The arrival of Mafuchazu, a magnificent yet terrifying gorilla, irrevocably changes everything. Intended as a scientific subject, Mafuchazu develops a fiercely possessive attachment to Emira. As her father pushes the boundaries of ethics, forcing Emira into increasingly dangerous interactions with the ape, she finds herself trapped. Caught between her father's ruthless ambition, the escalating desires of the men, and the terrifying devotion of the jungle's king, Emira's sanity and survival hang by a thread. What terrors will be unleashed as the thin veil of civilization tears, and the line between human and beast blurs completely.
