The Gate of Sorrows

The Gate of Sorrows

A series of murders shocks Tokyoâ€™s Shinjuku ward, but Shigenori, a retired police detective, is instead obsessed with a gargoyle that seems to move. College freshman Kotaro launches a web-based investigation of the killer, and comes to find that answers may lie within an abandoned building in the center of Japanâ€™s busiest neighborhood, and beyond the Gate of Sorrows. In this adult sequel to Miyabeâ€™s The Book of Heroes, you will meet monsters from other worlds and ordinary horrors that surpass even supernatural threats.
