The first volume of Aomizu Ria’s Rebirth, Redead, published by Kodansha, is now available for purchase. The manga has been serialized online on the Young Magazine Web platform since June 24.
Stuck with abusive, neglectful parents, Tachibana Meguru’s only source of comfort is the daily visits to his hospitalized grandfather: even though he’s too old and senile to even recognize him anymore, he was still the one family person to ever treat him with kindness. But when his death of natural causes extinguishes that last bit of warmth, Meguru’s will to live goes with it… however, just as he is about to jump off of his balcony, a strange creature descends out of nowhere and steals his heart right out of his chest.
When he later wakes up, on the pavement below in a pool of blood, he is greeted by a woman who explains that the creature is a Doppelganger, one of many supernatural phenomena the Public Safety Division Zero she works for is tasked with investigating and dispatching. Not only that, the theft of his art rendered him immortal, unable to die even if torn to shreds. She offers him to work for her organization and put his newfound ability to use… which he accepts, to make that creature pay for denying him release from his torment.
