Sad, cute undertaker kills himself. An angel saves/adopts him by ripping off one of her wings and attaching it to him. Undertaker really would prefer to be dead. In most of the chapters, he tries to kill himself, but it doesn't work, since he's already dead (or undead, as the case may be.)

Most of the characters are overdramatic and whiny. The interesting part of the story (backstory of the undertaker) doesn't kick in until the last few chapters, which is really unfortunate. The drawing here (if you like Mihara) is good, but it feels like an excuse to have everyone faff around in G & L fashions. Also, the art isn't as good as Doll (which has much better writing.) If you have the Alice Addict artbook, you will have some of the best art from the book-- in color, plus some extra stuff that isn't in the volume. The unfortunate thing is that if this had been half as long, it would have been decent. ]]>
