Sabikui Bisco (Novel) Vol. 07
A TOTAL CATASTROPHE!
All across Imihama, people have begun sprouting feline ears and tails, and adopting bizarre speech patterns! It seems the Ultrafaith Arrow Bisco and Milo fired at Kurokawa opened a gateway to an alternate dimension full of…samurai cats?! These katana-wielding kittens are being tormented by an ancient adversary who also happens to be the cause of the cat transformations back home. But as much as Bisco would love to put an arrow between their eyes, it turns out it’s pretty hard to draw a bowstring with cat paws… Can the Mushroom Keepers defeat this feline foe before their nine lives run out?!
Series overview: In the far future, a disaster known as the “Rusty Wind” has transformed the majority of Japan into a barren desert and left civilization in tatters. After his teacher falls prey to the rust, the roguish Bisco Akahoshi embarks on journey through the sandy wastes to obtain a mushroom known only as the Rust Eater, rumored to cure the ailment. Together with the dashing young doctor Milo, the pair will have to contend with the unforgiving environment and their fellow wanderers in order to make it back alive.
