Масакадзу Исигуро – лучшие книги

В изолированном и окруженном стенами комплексе дети живут под присмотром роботов. Их мир безопасен, предсказуем и похож на рай. Но однажды Токио получает загадочное сообщение: «Хочешь выйти наружу?» — и задается вопросом, что же скрывается за стенами.
А во внешнем мире на руинах разрушенной Японии выживают Мару и Кируко. Они ищут рай и не знают, существует ли он на самом деле. Постепенно две истории переплетаются и нам открываются тайны мира, где граница между раем и адом оказывается вовсе не такой четкой.

After heading south to investigate the place known as Tomato Heaven, Maru and Kiruko head back to Tokyo via a “ferry”. But they are ambushed at sea by one of the man-eating Hiruko monsters. This specific beast is amphibious, making him extremely deadly as he can easily take cover in the sea. Meanwhile in the school, Tokio, with the help of his classmate Kuku, uncovers a frightening secret. Maybe life is not what it seems at all. Maybe those who are inside the walls are not in heaven. And maybe the walls are there to keep them all inside!

After going on a wild goose chase through the badlands of Kanagawa, Kiruko and Maru are back in Tokyo where they can see a small but vibrant refugee community. But with society comes politics and economics, so now they have to turn to monster killing and odd jobs to survive in the big city.

Kiruko and Maru have found the origins of the mysterious bird symbol, but that information alone only leads to new problems to solve. What's worse is that they may have to travel halfway across the country to further investigate. Along the way, they run into a new form of man-eater and this one poses questions as to whether or not they are willing to eradicate them.

Upon meeting with a cult known as the Liviemen, Kiruko and Maru are tasked to dispose of some man-eaters. Their project would lead them to the people behind the organization known as the Immortal Order. With conflicting ideologies fighting for their services and rare working machinery in the heart of Tokyo, the two must decide whether or not to continue on their quest or to settle down with "civilization".

Kiriko has finally found Robin. But the reunion is not all smiles. Actually it is nothing but trauma as the two realize that this is a realtionship shared between three people and one of them has no current say in this reunion.

Две истории, которые непременно связаны…
Таинственный Мару — мальчик, у которого есть одна цель: найти «Рай»! На пути к ней он обрёл телохранителя — Кируко. Она тоже не так уж проста, как может показаться на первый взгляд. В этом путешествии к «Небесам» они вместе посетят много мест ушедшей эпохи и встретят разных врагов!
Токио — девочка, которая живёт за великими стенами «Небес»! Это место можно назвать раем. Вокруг высокие деревья, зеленая трава, плантации свежих овощей и даже есть небольшой водоём! Вместе с Токио здесь можно встретить и других детей, каждый из которых обладает своим особенным даром. В один из дней Токио получает сообщение: «Ты хочешь выбраться отсюда?» Кажется, с этого момента что-то странное начинает твориться в пределах «Небес»…
