The Princess of Monsters and young Hiro find themselves surrounded by the grotesque. A beast with ferocious jaws attacks from the Pacific Ocean; the world goes mad after a parallel universe appears out of nowhere; unidentified creatures wriggle and lurk in the deepest parts of a cave; and an unknown blood relative appears. Are all these things drawn towards Hime? Hiro’s suffering continues.
With her flowing black dress, roaring chainsaw, and android, werewolf, vampire, and blood warrior at her service ... the Princess of Monsters is back! Yasunori Mitsunaga's masterpiece, Princess Resurrection, is hereby resurrected for a new series!
The Princess of Monsters, her blood warrior Hiro, and the rest of the gang are still stuck in their nightmare, staggering through time and space as if in a drunken stupor. A mysterious event takes place at a school in the dead of night. An evil and hostile presence lurks in the shadows, wanting not only Hime and her gang, but all of us!
Sparks rain down like destiny on the Princess of Monsters. A deceptive predator turns on the supreme rulers of civilization. A silent night turns bloody in an abandoned village. Deformed spiders are unleashed by the gods.
The Princess of Monsters has a young servant named Hiro. They watch over Sasanaki Town, where strange incidents abound; evil seeds hiding in ambush, an army bursting from frozen ground, an imposter claiming to be a princess. Will the blood of a weak boy prove enough to protect the princess?
The Princess of Monsters, Hiro, and the gang find themselves caught up in mysterious events. A tragedy that repeats itself within a closed loop. A recording device that holds keys to the future and transcends time. A mansion that expands endlessly. A labyrinth that holds the royal family captive. And who is the figure that Hime comes across, deep underground?
Even with her memories restored, the nightmare continues for Hime and the gang. As they uncover the secrets about the royals and the androids, the Princess of Monsters and her entourage stumble through one fight after another, confronting their ultimate enemy in this seventh and final volume!
These seven essays by the most recent English translator of The Tale of Genji emphasize three major interpretive issues. What is the place of the hero (Hikaru Genji) in the work? What story gives the narrative underlying continuity and form? And how does the closing section of the tale (especially the ten 'Uji chapters') relate to what precedes it? Written over a period of nine years, the essays suggest fresh, thought-provoking perspectives on Japan¿s greatest literary classic.
