Just outside of Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a vast forest and one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in Japan... which is also the most famous suicide spot in the entire world. Legend has it that the spirits of those many suicides are still roaming-haunting deep in those ancient woods. This series from the creators of the acclaimed The Veil examines the lives of Alan, an average worker from Tokyo and his rather unhealthy relationship with Masami, and Ryoko, a forest ranger who recovers the suicide victim's bodies from the woods. We discover that behind Ryoko's unconcerned surface lies a secret, and these three lives will be forever changed by the darkness waiting for them in the Suicide Forest.

BONUS REVIEW by SHANE WALLACE

A simple tale of a Japanese folk lore. It started centuries ago when families would leave children or elders out in the Suicide Forest to die. This trend continues today as 76 bodies where found last year alone. When a girl who was dumped by her boyfriend she decides to add to the statistics by hanging herself in the old forest. There is a second part of the legend also tells us that the spirits will roam the forest. The story mixes two plots and intertwines them. I wasn't the most impressed with this issue but it is the team that gave us last years series, "The Veil" which I absolutely loved so I will keep trying each issue until it gets better!
