(W/A/CA) Kazuki Sakuraba By Kazuki Sakuraba When the Outland People abandoned a baby girl on the outskirts of a village, few imagined that she would grow up to marry into the illustrious Akakuchiba family, much less that she would develop clairvoyant abilities and become matriarch of the illustrious ironworking clan. Her daughter shocks the village further by joining a motorcycle gang and becoming a famous manga artist. The Outlander's granddaughter Toko - well, she's nobody at all. A nobody worth entrusting with the secret that her grandmother was a murderer.

(W) Kazuki Sakuraba 'What are the 'bamboo'? They are from China. They look just like us. They live by night. They drink human lifeblood but otherwise keep their distance. And every century, they grow white blooming flowers. A boy name Kyo is saved from the precipice of death by Bamboo, a vampire born of the tall grasses. They start an enjoyable yet strange shared life together, Kyo and the gentle Bamboo. But for Bamboo, communication with a human being is the greatest sin.'
