The search for the Sacrament of Calvarias becomes more complicated when Yuuki and Asuka are attacked by rebel psychics, and must join forces with Maria and the guerillas to survive. Meanwhile, Kai finds himself in a world where psychics battle in a blood sport for both the glory of their religion and the greed of the wealthy.

Dr. Mine Kujyou is a brilliant and beautiful scientist who lives for her work. But then she meets someone who challenges everything she knows about science: Shuro, a genetically engineered superhuman with strange and awesome mental powers. Shuro can enter people's minds and manipulate them into doing anything he chooses. And then Mine learns something even more terrifying: he's not the only one...

Mine Kuyjou is a brilliant and beautiful scientist who has unlocked some of the darkest secrets of the human mind. But now she's about to learn what the mind is really capable of. Mine joins forces with Sakaki to defeat Izac, a genetically engineered super-being with terrifying mental powers.

Isaac and Shuro, the products of a cruel scientific experiment, are difficult to understand, but could her own best friend be just as mysterious? Though Mine is enjoying her quality time with Kimiko, tensions are brewing just beneath the surface - hidden jealousies and resentments that Mine is too innocent to notice. But Isaac can see them, and in Isaac's hands, nothing's more dangerous than a dark secret.

Dr. Mine Kujyou, a scientist researching this dangerous subject, knows that Isaac and Shuro were created with the superhuman ability to control people's minds, and that Isaac has been using his powers to commit a series of strange and brutal murders. But the brilliant doctor's analytical skills are truly being tested, for Mine cannot understand why Shuro, Isaac's clone, has promised to help her save humankind from Isaac.

Is Mine's fascination with Shuro purely intellectual, or is she experiencing more than just a passion for research? Shuro's powers could save - or destroy - humanity, and Mine's reaction could tip the balance. Now she has discovered an even darker mystery than the human mind: her own heart.

Dr. Mine Kujyou is out to save the world. She's determined to stop Isaac, a genetically engineered superbeing, from destroying humanity. But her quest has led her somewhere unexpected: to an ordinary woman who can't escape her past - and who might hold the key to finding the elusive Isaac.

Shuro and Isaac are brothers who were created in a terrifying genetic engineering experiment - but now they're at war. Shuro wants to learn to live with humankind, while Isaac's rage is sending him on a murderous rampage. Can Shuro stop Isaac before he plunges the world plunges into chaos?

Isaac is dying - and he's determined to take as many people with him as possible. This psychotic superbeing is using mind control to unleash chaos and destruction on Tokyo. Only Shuro, his clone brother, can stop him. This ultimate battle will be the end for some and a whole new beginning for others...

In the US Presidential race, the darkest of dark horse is senator Kenneth Yamaoka, a third-generation Japanese-American who, one month before the New Hampshire primary, surprises the country and the world by deciding to challenge the Vice-president for the Democratic nomination!

When the senator makes a brilliant tactical turnaround on an ambush vice-president Noah springs during a TV debate, Yamaoka narrowly wins his first primary, the big #3 prize, New York State. Now it's off to the second-biggest, Texas, but how well is a dazzling urbanite like the senator going to do in a rustic setting like this? Especially when he goes for an unscheduled "town hall meeting" in a ranchers' honky-tonk?

Senator Yamaoka won the New York Primary, his home ground, by a hairbreadth - what makes him think that he or his black campaign manager, fellow vet Arthur McCoy, have any chance at all in the conservative South? And why has he been spending his precious last evenings before Super Tuesday not at $1000-a-plate affairs, but arguing gun control and farm policy with the good ol' boys at Texas's most famous honky-tonk, the Star Cafe?
