"The 20th Century saw a massive conflict between humans and Monsters, with the Monsters winning the hard-fought struggle. As a new century dawns, memories of those times have utterly faded from the minds of men." Monsters rule from the shadows, while humans continue life with a semblance of normalcy, all the while in secret fear. Some try to win favor with the Monsters, offering sacrifices of children. Most turn a blind eye and pretend they don't exist. But there are a few, the Melos Warriors, who continue to fight the Monsters and seek the Melody of Oblivion, a mysterious girl said to hold the key to salvation. Young Serina Bocca awakens as a Melos Warrior and begins his journey in search of the Melody of Oblivion. (Source: Manga-Updates)
Penta loved me much more than I ever realized... One day, my daughter came to visit me (the author), who was leading a busy life. Her name was Penta. She was terrible at catching bugs, couldn’t jump up to high places, and would immediately roll over and lie down on her back. She was a laid-back soul who was hardly cat-like at all. People call them pets, but once you live with them, they become precious family members. Penta was undoubtedly my child. A funny, bittersweet, and heartwarming story of a family woven together by a cat and a human.
