Corpse Princess Vol 8

"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.

Fight corpses with corpses!! Reanimated corpses called Shikabane walk the earth, but the Kougon Sect of the Grand Marshal School of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism has a means to combat them. Enter the Corpse Princesses! Undead-killers (usually young women) stand as humanity's first line of defense against the evil that lurks in the shadows, but can humanity tolerate defenders who are corpses themselves...? One Corpse Princess, Makina, may be the first to find out!

"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.

"I'll take it, Mr. Contract Holder," says Makina Hoshimura to her partner in the struggle, Ouri Kagami. They're both determined now, and it's no token gesture out of mere pity. But the shikabane have the last laugh as inescapable regrets hasten the coming of their Land of the Dead experiment. Leading them is the cornerstone shikabane swarm and tartget of Makina's Revenge -- the Seven Stars. Shikabane kills needed for Corpse Princess Makina Hoshimura to ascend to heaven: 95.

"I'm recruiting shikabane in order to crush the Kougon Sect." So says the former chief Gonshou-soujou of the Kougen Sect -- Akasha Shishidou -- a name to be feared and loathed. And like it or not, encountering him means nothing but death. As events begin to unfold, others are mercilessly caught up in his game. Even the girl who embodies death is no exception. Shikabane kills needed for Corpse Princess Makina Hoshimura to ascend to heaven: 96.

"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.

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.

His friend is a Shikabane, and his crush is a Corpse Princess. Such is his cruel reality. So now, "death" faces off against "aberration." What must contracting monk Ouri think after hearing the end of this tragic tale? What does the future hold for him and his Corpse Princess, Makina?
