THE FINAL SIX BY AKINARI ASAKURA

Shogo Hatano has beaten over 5,000 applicants to become one of six candidates still in the running for graduate positions at Japan's most exclusive tech company, Spiralinks.

But the night before the last interview, they receive an email that raises the stakes: Spiralinks will only take on one of the final six, and the hopefuls must decide who. As deliberations begin, Hatano finds six envelopes containing a shocking revelation about each candidate. The terrible secrets exposed could ruin more than just careers, they could destroy lives.

With the clock ticking, Hatano must process the scandals, figure out who planted the evidence and convince the others that he deserves the job of all their dreams. He'll do whatever it takes. But the wrong decision could have deadly consequences . . .
