Houdzuki Maika is a high school girl who, in a sense, is never alone. Her twin brother Maito, who died before their birth, lives inside her and shares her life. They trade off on who gets to live each day and share most of their memories. However, the only times they get to see and talk to each other is when they are both asleep, where they can share the same dream. Perhaps as a result of this supernatural existence, Maika is able to see ghosts. In the first volume, the school counselor pulls Maika/Maito into helping out with discovering the truth behind the disappearance of a female student whose ghost has left a message scratched into their classmate. There are surely many more mysterious incidents ahead for the twins to face! (Source: MU)

Suzuki is a troubled boy. He's lived with uncaring foster parents for most of his life, alienated from the other kids at his school, owner of a cynical, unhappy mentality. Komatsuzaki is a violent, unpredictable bully whose head trauma causes him to act in mysterious, inexplicable ways. Arakawa is a no-nonsense, normal girl who pines after Komatsuzaki but can never have him. A teacher with just one working eye. A mother who committed suicide. A daughter in an endless coma. Attempted rapes, murders, extortion, sexual deviance, and a freakish explosion in the butterfly population. All of these elements are whirled together in a story spanning 10 years, a tale of blackness, pain and apocalypse. And maybe just a bit of hope and redemption. It's a spiritual cross between the misanthropic suburban malevolence of Kyoko Okazaki's Rivers Edge and the eerie mysticality of Donnie Darko. (Source: Mangascreener)
