Everything would have been perfect in the best of possible worlds if Death had not decided to come and pick up the hero's little sister.

Genres: Supernatural

Black humor, disillusioned cynicism or onirism, all rendered by a loaded black line, it is all the strength of the author that appears in Neko Kappa.
