Makoto Hyakutake is a dull, unremarkable cop whose first life ends as a total “mob character.” As he lies dying, a flood of regrets washes over him—above all, the death of his beloved girlfriend Misaki, whom he parted from in a fight and failed to save. The only one he has ever truly loved is her; if he could live his life over, he swears he would protect Misaki no matter what. That wish is granted. Makoto is sent back ten years into the past, reborn as his younger self right after becoming a detective. Armed with foreknowledge of what is to come and everything he learned over those ten years, he throws himself into the struggle to change fate and, this time, protect Misaki to the very end. https://mechacomic.jp/books/259060

Rediscover the unknown, tragically short-lived artist who shined like a flash of lightning on the pages of *Garo* through mangaka Ryouko Yamagishi’s curated selection. A collection of 12 masterpieces, including works appearing here for the first time. *Garo*, published during the tumultuous era of the late 1960s to the early 1970s, was a magazine where experimental works vied for supremacy. In a corner of that world, a phantom writer vividly depicted the transience of human life and the joys and sorrows of the common people of Edo, staring down even the approaching death before passing away. This gem-like collection of original masterpieces, curated by a mangaka who experienced that spirit firsthand and was captivated by the warm gaze toward ordinary people, is a special paperback edition.
