About this title

Synopsis

A fantasy/horror series set in the heart of present-day Nagakaki, Japan where a set of extraordinary twins are born -- one just before midnight and the other just after. They discover the huge impact this minor difference has on their destinies when the after-midnight twin, Toshi, is inducted into a world of supernatural beings and events that intersects with our own world. Now Toshi and her brother, Kai, desperately try to stay one step ahead of their terrifying fates while they learn how far their new world of terror intersects with their own.

In this volume, Toshi must choose her weapons and begin her hazardous training through a fairy- tale-gone-wrong world like nothing anyone has ever experienced. Plus, Kai falls in with the enjokosai -- middle- to high-school-age girls who go on dates for money. It's legal in Japan, but a supernatural slasher is voicing disapproval in the bloodiest ways imaginable.

Reviews

Siblings Kai and Toshi Hara’s adventure continues from Cut Here (2007). Haunted by vague memories of Kai, Toshi settles in as a scrape grace, a spirit that cuts away nightmare elements from dreams. After Toshi has a run-in with an agent of death, trouble comes looking for her. Kai continues searching for Toshi, eventually amid Tokyo’s seedier streets, and lands in the middle of a murder mystery. Carey merges mythology and mystery as he reveals more about the kami spirits and the unlucky twins. Resembling the more realistic manga styles, Jim Fern’s art conjures an unsettled feeling that suits the clashing of normal and spirit worlds. --Tina Coleman
