The latest foray into the darkest corridors of adolescent dread-with vampires-from manga master Shuzo Oshimi (The Flowers of Evil).Nothing interesting is happening in Makoto Ozaki’s first year of high school. His life is a series of quiet humiliations: low-grade bullies, unreliable friends, and the constant frustration of his adolescent lust. But one night, a pale, thin girl knocks him to the ground in an alley and offers him a choice. Now everything is different. Daylight is searingly bright. Food tastes awful. And worse than anything is the terrible, consuming thirst. The tiny shames of his old life have been replaced by two towering horrors: the truth of what will slake his awful craving and high school itself.
FINALITY After ten years, Makoto and Sakurane’s reckoning has arrived. The inevitably bloody confrontation between the two monsters brings an end to one story, but marks the beginning of others. Gosho now faces a life marked by unimaginable trauma. Makoto’s mother struggles to find resolution while never truly understanding what became of her son. And Makoto himself faces eternity. FINAL VOLUME!
