Yet love finds a way to blossom amid bloodshed, in this dramatic, much-anticipated yuri manga that is spiritrual kin to the likes of Revolutionary Girl Utena, Otherside Picnic,and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury.
For the girls at a mysterious orphanage, death lurks behind every spontaneous giggle and childish game.

Everyone, that is, except Sheena, who wishes for nothing more than the conflict around her to end. On the night of her roommate’s death, Sheena meets a strange girl covered in blood, and smiling. The next day, the girl appears as a new student in Sheena's class and introduces herself as Mimi. Whispers start to drift through the halls that Mimi is a secret weapon--an immortal child soldier. Sheena's world grows even more complicated when Mimi is assigned as her new roommate. How can the peace-loving Sheena live with someone who welcomes death? And how long can she deny the effect of Mimi's strange magnetism...?
