Features

Zerozaki Clan

零崎一族

Spinning off from his Zaregoto series, these novels feature the Zerozaki family, the only one of the seven killing families not to be actually related to each other. Zerozakis spontaneously emerge every so often from the general populace, and define their family connections by which fully fledge Zerozaki discovers and trains them.
Without a trace of the mystery element that was always the least interesting aspect of the Zaregoto series, the Zerozaki books give free reign to NisiOisin's demented imagination. Not many other books get you rooting for cold blooded murderers to slaughter still more likeable and sympathetic innocent bystanders, and as always, every arc and conversation is so masterfully constructed that it makes for riviting reading, whether the characters are fighting or discussing philosophy.

• Zerozaki Soushiki's Humanity Test/零崎双識の人間試験

Hitoshiki's older brother, master of the giant scissors, discovers a just awakened Zerozaki -- a 17 year old girl named Mutou Iori. Before he can convince her that his offer to make her his sister is not creepy and sinister, she gets mixed up in a bloody conflict with a pair of furious killers out to revenge their sister's death.

• Zerozaki Kishishiki's Human Knock/零埼軋識の人間ノック

Three stories that serve to set up what looks like a series arc, and allow NisiOisin to play with some of the characters who didn't get nearly enough action in the Zaregoto series.

• Zerozaki Magashiki's Human Human/零埼曲識の人間人間
