Godchild, Vol. 3, 3

By Kaori Yuki

International hit by the creator of Angel Sanctuary

Deep in the heart of 19th century London, a young nobleman named Cain walks the shadowy cobblestone streets of the aristocratic society into which he was born. Forced to become an earl upon the untimely death of his father, Cain assumes the role of head of the Hargreaves, a noble family with a dark past. With Riff, his faithful manservant, and Mary Weather, his 10-year-old half sister, Cain investigates the mysterious crimes that seem to follow him wherever he goes.

A grotesque gift holds a clue to the Cain's family past; a mortician's daughter has deadly designs on one of Cain's closest friends; and a woman from Riff's past may have murder on her mind. Enjoy three new tales destined to delight and disturb from the imagination of master storyteller Kaori Yuki

Macabre Magic

The third volume from the magnificent gothic series! In this volume, we are introduced to three new stories: Zigeunerweisen, Mortician's Daughter, and The Stake. In Zigeunerweisen, Cain has a dream of his grandfather's funeral, and his Uncle Neil is also in this chapter. In Mortician's Daughter (my favorite story), we meet a girl named Marjorie Pareira and a dark man named Mr. Coffin Maker. In the Stake, a woman comes to the Hargreaves estate as Mary Weather's new tutor, and turns out to be someone from Riff's past. In conclusion, I am very satisfied with this volume. I am very eager to read the rest of the series, as this is one of my very favorite manga.
