Synopsis
Framed for child crimes, Akitaka finds redemption through priest Kiba's mercy, questioning if peace is possible.
Ichirou Akitaka, framed for a crime most heinous—child molestation and murder. Engulfed by despair and contemplating the final release of suicide, he is pulled back from the brink by the young, earnest priest, Kiba. Despite the sordid label society had pinned to him, Kiba shows Akitaka an unending mercy and kindness. A life of peace he'd yearned for, days unmarred by reproach... But could such salvation truly exist in this place? (Source: Fusion Product, translated) Included one-shots: Volume 1: Scapegoat Volume 2: Kamen no Nakami
