Mon, a man shrouded in madness who succumbs to violence at the whim of his instincts. And Toshi, a lonely boy whose hobby is making bombs. The path they walk can't be described without destruction—a road of violence. In just seven days, the number of victims of Toshimon reached 96. At the same time, a mysterious giant creature, the Higumadon, landed on Honshu from the northern seas. It claimed numerous victims and wreaked utter destruction. The catharsis that occurs when these two forms of madness collide—
Readers will find themselves holding their breath at the plot twists, which are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people,
and this work is sure to leave a powerful impact and become unforgettable.
