Corpse Princess Vol 3

"Answer me, big bro...!!" Ouri Kagami's peaceful, everyday life has begun to erode. Makina encounters the targets of her revenge -- the Seven Stars. Keisei watches as the darkness that surrounds his own life encroaches on his family. And Akasha and his Unclean Bunch writhe in the shadows. Slowly but surely, the line between this world and the next begins to blur... Shikabane kills needed for Corpse Princess -- Makina Hoshimura -- to ascend to heaven: 95.

"None may oppose heaven's mandate. That is Absolute." So says Ma'en Sugami of the unclean bunch. "Operation Sealed Deity" is the mission to defeat him, but even hope is lost in the face of this king's power. Takamasa is driven to despair when faced with overwhelming calamity. Meanwhile, Ouri, Makina, Sadahiro, and Akasha are bound by their regret over Keisei.

"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.

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.

Within the king's "Land of the Dead," what can Ouri and Makina hold on to? What will be lost? Even their friends cannot escape the tragedy that awaits. As the situation grows dire, their karma and resolve will be tested.

"This is my best chance to confront the Seven Stars again!"So says Makina Hoshimura. She trusts in Ouri's decision to participate in Operation Sealed Deity--the mission to defeat the Unclean Bunch's king. Meanwhile, the young contracting monk struggles to rise to the occasion in the face of the founder's assault. The head temple is in chaos as the fight against Milam intensifies. Shikabane kills needed for Corpse Princess Makina Hoshimura to ascend to heaven: 92.

The salvation has commenced, and humanity has been all but wiped from the earth. Kohaku's bond with the Kougon Sect has been severed, and his eyes are truly opened. The ultimate battle continues as Makina's tale comes to a close in the final volume of Corpse Princess!
