A new dark fantasy from the creator of Devils' Line, Ryo Hanada.

What does it mean to be alive?

Minami—a young Guard who's rumoured to be invincible—thinks about dying every day. In a world overrun by ape-like creatures called shojo, he has battled alone and thrown himself into all kinds of danger. No matter what horror he's faced, he has betrayed no hints of fear, resentment, or despair.

But when his newly assigned partner, Miyaji, gets bitten, Minami panics. He swings the Black Sword and severs Miyaji's leg to stop the infection from spreading and turning his partner into a shojo. Now, left with a grave injury, Miyaji is on the verge of dying—and Minami, perhaps for the first time ever, is paralysed by the thought of death.

Ryo Hanada, the creator of Devils' Line, brings to you an immersive and emotionally charged continuation of her newest series.
