Red-Hooded Girl… Where are you going?

14-year-old Maya survives a terrible train accident only to find herself in a strange world where people, places, and souls are made of paper. Now, hunted and alone, she has 11 days to find the bodies, reconstruct the accident, and return home.

At least that's how the comic is described on its archive page.

In reality, it's much more surreal, unsettling, and vague than this would make you think.

Created by Clone.Army, the authors of Nana's Everyday Life. The complete comic can be read or downloaded here. If you'd like an interpretation, this one seems to be very accurate, though you should definitely read the comic first.
