鬼才導演北村龍平和加倉井Missile；
合力打造最有電影風格的除「魔」漫畫！

人之所以犯罪，
是由於「魔」潛藏心中！？

全美國罪案最嚴重的都市龐多古洛斯市，
經常發生獵奇事件，
究其元兇，
原來是附在人身上的「魔」。
向罪案挑戰的，
是美女刑事瑪莉安。
她的右手拿著射穿犯人的手槍，
左手則拿著斬魔的大劍。
那映照出魔的綠色瞳孔所凝視著的，
是樂園？
還是地獄？

Premise: demon-possessed humans are roaming the city and causing mayhem, a young woman carrying a sword and two guns would swing in and slay the demons, even when this means she must slay the possessed-humans at the same time. The young woman, namely Marion Hyde, performs her demon-slaying duty with the authority from the police to back her up but her name isn't on any record, and the only record you can find about her, is that she is long dead in the line of duty.

PS: the English translated title of this 2 volumes series might or might not be Marion Hyde The Goddess Of Scaffold.

I bought a secondhand copy of this series, I'm glad there is a lot of fast moving action scenes, the artwork is lovely and delightful, plus there is no stupid romance so far.

Plus the co-creator of this series is one Ryuhei Kitamaru, the director of the movie adaptation of Clive Baker's Midnight Meat Train, yeah!

The story is nothing groundbreaking but the plot works out fine anyway, the characters are okayish as well, the strong point of this volume really is the outstanding artwork and the action scenes, I love it!
