Volume 2 - 1st printing. Story and art by by Saki Hiwatari. Translated by Lilian Olsen. Adapted by Fred Burke. After the chilling conclusion of volume one, the tension begins to mount! It turns out Takashi is not merely a biker punk, but the son of Raozo Matsudaira, a powerful man whose construction firm is renovating Tokyo Tower. Takashi's sudden, terrified behavior leads Tamura, his unflappable personal aide, to investigate. Tamura soon receives his own threatening notes from "S." But why does Rin want Tokyo Tower? In the meantime, inspired by the discovery that Alice is Mokuren, Isse has come up with a plan to try to find the other members of the moon team. Surprisingly, his ad in a creepy cult magazine pays off, and they meet Daisuke and Sakura, who are Hiragi and Shusuran in the moon dreams. From these two, the others learn the terrible truth. The dreams are not visions of the future-they're memories of a tragic past. Sent to study Earth, the moon dream aliens were very far from their home worlds. This spared them from a galactic war that wiped out their civilization. Shortly thereafter, they contracted a fatal, contagious disease that killed them one by one. After hearing of the sad fate of their former selves, Alice can't help but wonder whether she wants to know more. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 192 pages, B&W. Older Teen Cover price $9.99.
