Four Lives Remain: Tatsuya Endo Before Spy x Family

A dark and gritty collection of short stories from Tatsuya Endo before Spy x Family!

A young girl fighting her way through bounty hunter school. A princess forced to flee her moon empire after a coup. Witch-hunters hell-bent on killing with bloodsucking swords. And a group of ragtag musketeers tracking down armed robbers.

In these early works by Tatsuya Endo, creator of the hit series Spy x Family, follow the adventures of four resourceful and unexpected heroes as they discover that true strength, power, and beauty can be found in walking the path one believes in.

Collection of short stories:

• Seibu Yuugi: In the ruins of a former civilization, crime has been on the rise. To combat it, the government instituted a bounty hunting system, like in the wild west. To prevent collateral damage, bounty hunters must attend a special school and receive a license. This story follows Ellena Fiscuff, a new student at the bounty hunter’s school.

• Gekka Bijin: Kaguya is forced to flee after the moon empire she is heir to is taken over. In her time down on Earth, will she be able to find a way to return to her rightful place?

• Witch Craze: Witch hunters bearing blood-sucking swords hunt down witches and take their blood. An unusual man and woman traveling together come into a town that already has at least one witch, just before a group of hunters arrive to take her down.

• PMG-0: Tania has been a member of the PMG, the “musketeers” that form a special police guard, from the time after the violent death of her father. She’s not very disciplined, but she’s a force to be reckoned with. In this story, PMG is trying to stop a group of armed robbers.
