Corpse Princess Vol 19

A clash of wills. A dark past revealed. The tale of Makina's regrets is told...and the truth is dancing in the palm of Maitreya's hand.

"I'll destroy you all...! Every last one of you," vows Makina Hoshimura. She and Ouri are brought together by pity, dread, compassion...and a promise. This transient world of ours is driven by such passion. They know they can't bring him back, yet they plunge deeper into the otherworldly mire brought about by the Unclean Bunch. Shikabane kills needed for Corpse Princess Makina Hoshimura to ascend to heaven: 95.

Her lost other half, whom she thought she'd never meet again. His name-Kohaku Hoshimura. A devastating reunion with a not-so-familiar twin awaits...

The king's laughter heralds the beginning of the end. There is no escape. As the Kougon Sect falls, a new Hell descends upon the earth, but all hope is not lost. Creation's Cycle is the last remaining tool in the Kougon Sect's arsenal, and they're going to need it if they intend to oppose the Shikabane King...

The mad salvation has come at last, and with it, the despair of many. There is but one path of resistance. The final hope lies with the Ryuuge Tree.

"Shall we......lend you a hand?" So says the black cat--Ouri's constant companion who calls him an "ominous death omen." Makina is powerless before an awakened Hokuto, and Ouri is out of options. In this dire moment, the cat appears. Ouri needs the power to escape this predicament, and what he gets is a startling transformation. Shikabane kills needed for Corpse Princess Makina Hoshimura to ascend to heaven: 90.

"I'll take everything. Until......there's nothing left of you!!" so says Makina Hoshimura. Such is her grim determination in the face of the Seven Stars, for they are now bound to each other as "enemies." So she struggles to stand against them. That's all she knows how to do, even if the despair-filled Land of the Dead lies ahead. Shikabane kills needed for Corpse Princess Makina Hoshimura to ascend to heaven: 92.

"I remembered that I'm a Corpse Princess," says Makina Hoshimura. She's ready to stand up again and fight, even if it's against her inescapable destiny. Even if it means forgetting the name of the one she loved most. But the darkness whirls, and the Unclean Bunch's supreme king violates heavenly laws and breaks boundaries as he writhes into existence once again. Shikabane kills needed for Corpse Princess Makina Hoshimura to ascend to heaven: 95.
