Tengoku Chikyu Jigoku Vol Six

by Noizchild Johnson

Heaven, Earth, and Hell are back for volume six and it's Max-centered. Max continues his quest to find the rest of Tokyo '87. Meanwhile, he finds himself bonding with Taro, his friends, and the angels trapped in the living world. However, Max has some secrets of his own. One call from his past could uproot everyone and push them into the storm waiting to devour them.

I sat back up and faced the camera.

"I know where to start," I said. "So, here goes…"

I will tell you about how I met Natalia and Himeko. It goes like this…
