This is the sequel to Hoshi Momaru Inu, a work which has received great acclaim and has been adapted into a movie. This book includes the two chapters originally released in Manga Action, with major revisions and additions, including an entirely new chapter. The theme of this book is "life" and "salvation", a counterpoint to the themes of the first book.
