But matters become complicated when the group discovers that the person behind the myth may be someone Kurô has known all along … What powers can bring a ghost to life, and what motivated this trickery?

With the violence and the urban legend of Steel Lady Nanase only continuing to grow in power, it's up to Kotoko to put a stop to her once and for all—and quickly!

Kotoko gathers "four solutions" to destroy the truth that Rikka has brought to life, but can a lie destroy a fictional monster and create a new truth? Armed only with these imaginative solutions, Kotoko, Kurô, and Saki kick off the decisive battle with Steel Lady Nanase.

1st printing. Story and art by Shin'ichi Sakamoto. Blood, death, and duty-the title bequeathed to the heir of the royal executioner becomes a burden too heavy to bear. Born into a family of executioners, Charles-Henri Sanson must take up his father's mantle as the Royal Executioner of Paris. Conflicted between his desire to honor the family name and rebelling against the longstanding practice, he chooses to follow tradition, but vows to be the last executioner-the last Sanson to spill blood in the name of justice. In this omnibus edition collecting volumes 1-3 of the original manga series, Shin'ichi Sakamoto masterfully fictionalizes the true life of Charles-Henri Sanson, the "Gentleman of Paris," who performed nearly three thousand executions in 18th-century France. Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 632 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $29.99.
