Mitsukazu Mihara's dramatically chilling look at the meaning of life, death, and the other side continues... Shinjyurou longs for so many things. He longs for love, peace and acceptance. Forced to be an outsider, Shinjyurou must confront the tribulations of life while living in a world of death.

Mitsukazu Mihara debuted in 1994 with the short "Gomu no Iranai Kodomo-tachi," which won a contest in the magazine Feeling Young. Famous for the Gothic Lolita fashions that she dresses her characters in, Mihara-sensei is considered a master of the short story. Besides Shigeshoshi, she is also the creator of Doll, Beaautiful People, RIP: Requiem in Phonybrian, Haunted House and IC in a Sunflower, all of which will be published in the United State by TOKYOPOP
