Summary

In this concluding second volume, Edgar, suffering from amnesia, is discovered alone on a snowy English night. Separated from his "vampirnella" clan—who feed on the energy of the living and endure centuries in a village of roses—he struggles to reclaim his memory. Through haunting tales like "Piccadilly, Seven O'Clock," "Edith," and "The Last Will and Testament of Oswald Owens," mysteries unfold involving murders, séances, and obsessions. The lives of generations of humans intersect with Edgar, a boy who does not age, alongside his sister Marybelle and companion Alan Twilight from the 1800s. This volume completes the first English edition of this acclaimed manga.

Description

In our concluding second volume, an amnesia-stricken Edgar is found alone on a snowy night in England. Separated from his vampirnella clan, who feed on the energy of the living and while away the centuries in a village of roses, he struggles to remember his own name. Will Edgar regain his memory and be reunited with them?

In stories like "Piccadilly, Seven O'Clock," "Edith," and "The Last Will and Testament of Oswald Owens," there are murders, mysteries, seances, and obsessions — and generations of humans whose lives are profoundly affected by a boy who does not age, Edgar, and his embraced companions: his little sister, Marybelle, and Alan Twilight, a 14-year-old from the 1800s.
