Thanks to information from the imposter, Senri now knows the intentions behind the despicable scheme laid by the "fire" man. Anxious about Kazuto, Senri decides to seek out cooperation with "that" person. And what exactly happened to Kazuto after leaving Senri? The secrets of his past are finally revealed!
The new manga series from Kei Sanbe, the master of suspense behind Erased, plunges an innocent young boy into Tokyo's criminal underworld, as he fights to keep his younger sister alive, and to return his soul to his own body! The tiny apartment where Minato lives may as well be an isolated island in the middle of the ocean. Despite still being in elementary school, it falls on his shoulders to care for his little sister Nagisa, who never stops asking when their mother will make one of her infrequent visits home. On one of those visits, their mother takes them to an amusement park, only to give Minato some cash and leave them on a Ferris wheel… but as the wheel reaches the top, lightning strikes, and, instead of his sister, Minato sees the corpse of a woman… and, reflected in the glass looking back at him, an unfamiliar and menacing face!
The "Fire" Man raids a hospital to rescue a barely conscious Kazuto. He succeeds, despite Wakazono's hot pursuit. However, the difference between the way Kazuto and his mentor think is more clearly delineated than ever. And now the change in their relationship even has a major impact on the people around Senri. In the end, Enan's life hangs in the balance...!!
After years of searching, Senri finally has a lead on Kazuto! In an effort to get even closer and finally find the "Fire" man, Senri leans on some alternative methods and reaches out to Wakazono for his help. But Wakazono may prove to have his own agenda which leaves Senri in the dust!
Senri and Wakazono--two avengers spurred on by love for the family they lost. The two finally come face-to-face with the ones who tore their lives apart. Who will be left standing when the dust settles?
Senri's hunt for his twin heats up as a rival criminal group sets Kazuto and the "fire" man's hideout ablaze mere minutes after he and Enan finish their search. As he draws closer and closer to his brother, the danger only seems to increase, and so too does Senri's recklessness. He feels sure Kazuto is reaching out to him, yearning to meet as much as he is, but Kazuto has a long history with the "fire" man-and a terrible burden to bear...
As Kazuto's final hour approaches, bargaining begins with the "fire" man over the child who will be left behind. And it's not just Kazuto--Senri is also determined to prevent the child from going through what the brothers have, no matter what!
Certain his twin is alive, Senri shifts his goal from avenging his brother to finding him. Enan is happy to join the search, relieved to see her friend's face light up with hope after living in darkness for so long. Following the threads of distant memories, Senri uncovers new clues that suggest his parents' involvement in a tangled plot, one that may well have led to their deaths. And now, as events continue to unfold, Senri fears Kazuto may be wrapped up in the sinister dealings of the city's underworld as well. Has the homicidal "fire" man twisted his kind brother into something unimaginable...?!
