These changes bring back lost memories of his previous life – memories that should no longer exist – and this starts Amano on a journey to find himself. For his brief existence, Amano has only known a life of saving souls, but perhaps now he can save his own lost soul! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 212 pages, B&W. Cover price $10.99.
