The Aum organization control law and other regulations have been applied, and the "Aum bashing" continues, but unless the whole picture of the Aum incident is revealed once again, cult religions will surely revive. In fact, various cults are being born. In this sense, the consciousness and actions of the young people that reporter Seguchi pursues in this book are important. A Tokyo Shimbun social affairs reporter, through interviews with about 20 former Aum believers, unravels the whole picture of the Aum Shinrikyo incident. Warning that something Aum-like will definitely revive. The shocking whole picture of the Aum Shinrikyo incident, told through the testimonies of former believers!
