Heavenly Delusion Vol. 06

Heavenly Delusion Vol. 06

Kiriko has finally found Robin. But the reunion is not all smiles. Actually it is nothing but trauma as the two realize that this is a realtionship shared between three people and one of them has no current say in this reunion.

Series overview: Within the safety of the walls, youths are raised in a nursery-style setting by robots. While life there may appear stale on the surface, the children are full of potential and curiosity. In many ways, it is like a slice of heaven. The outside world is a hellscape. It is almost entirely void of anything mechanical and is now inhabited by bizarre, yet powerful supernatural beings. Maru, with the aid of Kiruko, is out there crisscrossing what was once Tokyo for heaven. But after searching for so long, maybe heaven is more of an untenable dream than a potential reality.
