The bestselling pet shop of horrors returns--in Tokyo. This time, Taizuu meets his match. Can he quit smoking and manage to stay alive? Perhaps, but only if he remembers one thing: in Count D's pet shop, not all animals are friendly--or real.

Hundreds of years ago the priest and witch hunter Betheal Gavarre tried the heretic Vascar de Guillon in a secret court. What he realized too late was that when Vascar claimed to be the fallen Archangel Temozarela, bent on corrupting the race of man, it was neither lie nor madman's rant. In order to contain Temozarela, Betheal drew from the lore of ancient cults to create the Domas Porada, the Matrix of Silence. The Vatican investigators sent to investigate Betheal found no sign of him or his creation—the fallen priest and fallen angel disappeared from history. Until now... In a forgotten abbey in the wastelands of the America's old west, the Domas Porada has been found, and a band of researchers try tirelessly to open it, not knowing the evil it contains.

Teppei and X are caught between a rock and a hard place when they face Mislim and the stone-eyed gaze of his menacing B'TX. The situation becomes grave when the daring duo are turned into sand. Illustrations.

Andou Jurai and Sagami Shizumu have a complicated relationship, to say the least. Although Andou claims the two of them are “more than acquaintances but less than friends,” it’s plain to see that there’s more to it than that—and just as obvious that Andou would really rather not talk about it. Some things feel better left forgotten, and for Andou, many such things happened when he was in the eighth grade. After all, that was when he met Sagami and they really were friends, and worse yet, it was when he’d stopped being a chronically edgy chuuni cringelord. What painful feelings lurk within Andou’s memories of the darkest period of his life? How did his friendship with Sagami deteriorate into the lukewarm tolerance they have now? And why did Andou emerge from the crucible as Guiltia Sin Jurai? For Sayumi’s sake, he’s finally willing to bare it all...

As Kotarou tries to uncover the roots of his relationship with Misha and Shia, the journey of discovery turns into a mystery wrapped deep within their history.
