Narrator: Project Itoh, the author who left this world too soon. In 2007, he hotly debuted with his Genocidal Organ novel. What was written was a story of a violent program that pushes humanity to genocide and the warriors that stand up against it. Two years later, Harmony becomes his posthumous work. What is written is a fabricated world that was created so kindly that it was hard to breathe in, and the screams of the soul who lost their place to belong there. Finally, The Empire of Corpses, which is an uncompleted story. He requested that the story be co-written by his dear friend, Toh EnJoe. It’s the story of souls that remain in this world, despite their living bodies dying. Genocidal Organ, Harmony, The Empire of Corpses. Being adapted into anime films in 2015.
