Dark science-fiction set in the BLAME! universe. As detective Musubi Susono investigates a series of child kidnappings, her own partner is viciously murdered. But when the investigation takes a brutal turn, she is suddenly confronted by the killer—and his sadistic silicon creature ... From Tsutomu Nihei (Knights of Sidonia, BLAME!) comes a tale set in a future that is rife with decay and clamorous discord. “Action packed, bloody, and cerebral to the core, it's stunningly drawn and impossible to put down.” —Play Magazine " Translation by Melissa Tanaka, Editing by Daniel Joseph, Production by Risa Cho/ Pei Ann Yeap Lorina Mapa/ Risa Cho/ Pei Ann Yeap Lorina Mapa, Kodansha USA Publishing, LLC
