Synopsis for Kagami no Kojou

Kokoro is a first-year high school student. Or at least, she is supposed to be. A dark and very terrifying experience has left her with a severe case of social anxiety that has caused her to drop out of school and shut herself away from the world at home, where she spends her days dealing with the guilt of being disappointed in her parents’ eyes. .

One day, the mirror in his room starts to shine. Drawn to the other side of the mirror by a girl wearing a wolf mask, Kokoro comes across a fairy tale castle and six other children, all close to her age. The girl (who calls herself “Ookami-sama”) tells them that whoever finds the Wish Key hidden in the castle will be granted a single wish. There are no rules, except one: if they stay past 5 in the afternoon, the Wolf will eat them.
