Forget everything you think you know about the end of civilization because Masakazu Ishiguro is about to tear your sense of reality apart. While a group of children lives a sheltered, high-tech existence behind pristine white walls, Maru and his bodyguard Kiruko are scavenging through the rotting corpse of Tokyo on a desperate hunt for a place they only know as Heaven. Maru is driven by a singular, burning need to find a person with his own face, but every crumbling highway and abandoned mall is infested with Hiruko—grotesque, man-eating entities that defy every law of nature. Between Kiruko’s haunting physical secret and the tightening mystery of how these two split realities connect, this is a journey defined by the brutal, bloody cost of hope. It is a visceral, mind-bending masterpiece that asks if finding paradise is even possible when the person standing next to you is the only home you have left in a world that has already died.
