For me, going through rows and rows of books on a book store these days result in me being disappointed in not finding at least one book that catches my fancy. As a professed bookworm, that is extremely frustrating.
So imagine my surprise when I was browsing through rows of manga and comic books and found this since book with an artbook like feel and cover. What’s better is that it cost me less than $4 in full price! As I could never afford English-translated manga and prefer buying Japanese ones for scanlation, the book was a wonderful surprise to me.
The title of the book is Lament and was created by Hu JingXuan. It was originally in Chinese but was adapted to English by Chuan Yi Publishing.
Lament by Hu JingXuan
The summary on the back cover is as follows:
“Like the aftermath of apocalypse, angels stripped of their voices and heaven laid waste.”
Sin. Temptation. Rage. Regret.
Below, lost souls of the underworld grow restless. their murmurs, oncesilent, now overwhelm the senses with their deafening cries. As the sins of the mother who forsook her humanity to serve her new master are passed on to her accursed newborn, sixteen years on, the devil’s spawn walks on human soil unaware of his fate, even as ominous signshint of his eventual awakening. the day when the dark apostle crosses over and devours the world.
