A manga adaptation of the novel by Tomo Taketomi was serialized in Shueisha’s Ultra Jump magazine from June 19, 2019 to February 19, 2022. It is published under the Young Jump Comics imprint and has released five tankoubon volumes in total.
Penguin Random House describes the original Lonely Castle in the Mirror novel as:
In a tranquil neighborhood of Tokyo, seven teenagers wake to find their bedroom mirrors are shining.
At a single touch, they are pulled from their lonely lives into to a wondrous castle filled with winding stairways, watchful portraits and twinkling chandeliers. In this new sanctuary, they are confronted with a set of clues leading to a hidden room where one of them will be granted a wish. But there’s a catch: if they don’t leave by five o’clock, they will die.
As time passes, a devastating truth emerges: only those who dare to share their stories will be punished.
