Q Hayashida – лучшие книги

In a city so dismal it's known only as "the Hole," a clan of Sorcerers have been plucking people off the streets to use as guinea pigs for atrocious "experiments" in the black arts. In a dark alley, Nikaido found Caiman, a man with a reptile head and a bad case of amnesia. To undo the spell, they're hunting and killing the Sorcerers in the Hole, hoping that eventually they'll kill the right one. But when En, the head Sorcerer, gets word of a lizard-man slaughtering his people, he sends a crew of "cleaners" into the Hole, igniting a war between two worlds.

Once a year, hordes of the dead rise and roam the streets of the Hole, hungry for live flesh. And every year, Caiman and Nikaido sign up for the local zombie-killing contest! Whoever sends the most zombies back into the ground will win some fantastic prizes. But the fun ends quickly when En's cleaners finally track down Caiman and Nikaido. Somebody's going to lose their head. Literally.

While En seeks out a new partner with unique magic powers, his crew has a run-in with an underground organization that controls the distribution of "black powder," a magic-enhancing drug used by weaker Sorcerers. Meanwhile, Caiman and Nikaido spend New Year's in the haunted mansion of a mysterious doctor who specializes in the anatomy of Sorcerers. The doctor reveals to them the only known portal to the Sorcerers' dimension...

Everyone is looking for that special someone... Convinced that Risu is the key to his past (and his head), Caiman heads to the Sorcerers' dimension on his own. While he's tracking down Risu, he finds the Sorcerers getting ready for “Blue Night,” a festival where Sorcerers find their partners. Meanwhile, Risu is looking for his old partner Aikawa to see what he might know about the people who killed him. Shin and Noi are both being hunted by Sorcerers who've long coveted them as partners. En is relentlessly hunting a Sorcerer who can manipulate time. And Fujita's looking for...well, any partner who will have him.

Caiman and Nikaido return to the Hole, where Doc and Kasukabe manage to cure Nikaido of her deadly fungal affliction. But a prowler outside Central Hospital is watching and waiting for an opportunity to steal her away. Fujita returns to the Hole to finally kill Caiman himself. He gets close when he's recruited for a baseball match between Central Hospital and Hole Peace Hospital, but his plans change when he spots an old friend. Meanwhile, in the Sorcerer's dimension, a little accident transforms Noi into a hideous monster. It's up to Shin to stop her before she kills everyone.

Deep in the world of sorcerers, Caiman devises a daring plan to sneak into En's mansion under the guise of a meat-pie competition, posing as Tanba's wife (!) in order to infiltrate the darkest recesses of the crime lord’s sprawling estate. Unfortunately, the contract Nikaido was forced to sign with En is affecting her memory, and she may not even remember Caiman when he manages to get to her. Meanwhile, the Professor and his friends engineer their own escape from En's dungeon with the help of a surprising friend from the Professor's past. And finally, the mysterious Risu does a little digging of his own, tracking down the Cross-Eye hideout in a distant town.
