Worldend What Do You Do At The End Of The World Are You Busy Will You Save Us

All good things must come to an end The barrier of Chanteur, the First Beast Who Laments for the Moon, has shattered, and in the aftermath, a young red-haired Visitor gets separated from her partner, Carmine Lake. The redhead's subsequent peaceful days with a certain "Willie," whose memories have been sealed away, are numbered. Meanwhile, the duty of fighting the calamitous Beasts has fallen to Ithea and Rhantolk as Beast Number Two, Aurora, the Piercing One, comes ever closer to Regule Aire...Once everything comes to a head, the curtain will finally close on this tale of the faerie soldiers and their young instructor.

Memories gradually crumbling away... After nearly losing her life in a fearsome battle against the Beasts, Chtholly has reunited with Willem at last-but Chtholly isn't the same. Her memories are deteriorating, and she keeps having strange visions of a young redheaded girl. But in spite of her concerning condition, Chtholly is glad to finally be home with Willem. He promised to make her happy and is determined to see it through...no matter how fruitless that may be.

Tragedy repeats itself. With Chtholly now gone, Second Officer Willem Kmetsch and the faerie soldier Nephren have been swallowed by the darkness. Their tale should have ended here, and yet, all of a sudden, Willem hears a voice calling out to him. It's the voice of Almaria, a girl from Willem's past who died many years ago. As scenes of an end long gone unfold before them, Willem and Nephren come to learn the truth about the organization known as True World......and in the black of night, a new Beast howls.

Everyone wants to be remembered...Untold years after the strange Beasts drove humanity to extinction, Willem emerges from his slumber as the sole survivor. A new civilization of various other races has risen on the floating islands, but there'sno place for a featureless human among them. After aimlessly wandering for a time, Willem grudgingly accepts a job with the military, only to discover that the "weapons" he watches over are in fact young faeries. As he slowly learns more about the children and how they're linked to his past, the war with the Beasts grows increasingly desperate. When the girls prepare to fight a hopeless battle, is there anything a lone human can do...?

One sword, many memories Revisit the tale of the faerie soldiers and their young instructor in these short stories featuring the three wielders of the most powerful dug weapon, Seniorious: Legal Brave Lillia Asplay, Chtholly Nota Seniorious, and Lakhesh. Although this virtuous white blade is drawn to wielders doomed to a fate of death and destruction, these girls never stopped yearning for a future they would never experience for themselves.

Just a little longer in this ephemeral dream... Half a month has passed since Chtholly and the other faerie soldiers departed for battle, but they still have yet to return. Willem heads to Island No.11 in search of answers and brings along Tiat, one of the young leprechauns who shoulder the burden of being among the next generation of faerie soldiers. But once Willem and Tiat arrive, they hear news that the faeries' decisive battle against the Beasts ended in failure, and there's still no sign of their return...

In this hyperkinetic and relentlessly inventive novel, Japan’s most popular (and controversial) fiction writer hurtles into the consciousness of the West. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World draws readers into a narrative particle accelerator in which a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect. What emerges is simultaneously cooler than zero and unaffectedly affecting, a hilariously funny and deeply serious meditation on the nature and uses of the mind. From the Trade Paperback edition.
