Vita Nostra
A dark academia in the weirdest sense, set in a strange little town in Russia, at the Institution of Special Technologies.
Sasha is a teenage girl when she encounters a strange man who tells her to perform certain eccentric tasks or her loved ones will suffer. Each time she finishes, she vomits gold coins that eventually get her into the Institution.
Once there, Sasha and other students undergo a rigorous and bizarre series of lessons. The teachers are strict. Sasha makes friends with the son of the man who began all of this.
Sasha must navigate the usual college travails of growing up, exams, and relationships, as the Institution's tests change her in strange and terrifying ways.
For fans of dark academia and the New Mutants.
