The story should have ended with the fourteen tragedies, but instead it grew even crueler, and forced a terrible choice upon everyone in it. After being invited down into the underground tomb by Jeanne de Rais, the new Torture Princess, Kaito and the others come face-to-face with the truth of the world and elect to cooperate with her to bring about salvation. What paths will Kaito, Elisabeth, Hina, Jeanne, Izabella...and the Butcher take amidst a world that nourishes itself on tragedy?
The story really takes off now. All the characters we've met so far in the volumes now have a real big meaning. We get answers to many previous questions, and with that, even more questions arise.
Without spoiling anything, I'll say that The Butcher, The Saint, The Torture Princesses and of course Hina and Kaito all have their time to shine in this volume.
This series, man, the lore and characters... I'll never get enough of them. It keeps getting better. And it keeps giving me Pain! Everything is woven together so well and I have no choice but to read on. Kaito is the best protagonist how does Ayasato keep doing this?
Something about this series speaks to me on so many levels. The depravity, the humor, the MC is fantastic, and the overall cast. When I think the story has nowhere to go, they throw a curve ball
