They discover the huge impact this minor difference has on their destinies when the after-midnight twin, Toshi, is inducted into a world of supernatural beings and events that intersects with our own world. Now Toshi and her brother, Kai, desperately try to stay one step ahead of their terrifying fates while they learn how far their new world of terror intersects with their own. In this volume, Toshi must choose her weapons and begin her hazardous training through a fairy- tale-gone-wrong world like nothing anyone has ever experienced. Plus, Kai falls in with the enjokosai -- middle- to high-school-age girls who go on dates for money. It's legal in Japan, but a supernatural slasher is voicing disapproval in the bloodiest ways imaginable.Collecting issues #6-12. less

Toshi and Kai lead the kami armies into battle, but it may take more to determine the fate of the twins. This final volume collects issues #13-19 of the series Publishers Weekly called "solid, entertaining and brilliantly executed."

En Nagasaki (Japón), dos hermanos gemelos (Toshi y Kai Hara) han nacido a ambos lados de la medianoche. Solo les separan unos minutos, pero esos minutos harán que sus vidas discurran por caminos muy diferentes. Al crecer, queda claro que Toshi, la gemela, es algo fuera de lo común. No puede herirla nada puntiagudo ni afilado. Los cuchillos se parten o se doblan en lugar de rajar su piel... moreEn Nagasaki (Japón), dos hermanos gemelos (Toshi y Kai Hara) han nacido a ambos lados de la medianoche.
