Sister Red
Résumé
Mahito lives at home with her father and her cousin Erika, who came to live with Mahito's family after the death of her parents. Erika is a shy and weak six year old, who has had difficulty adjusting to her new family - she needs constant looking after, and unfortunately, it is Mahito who ends up devoting most of her time to this task. On a rainy night, when Mahito is struck by a car. Two days later she awakens at home, covered in dirt and blood, yet there is not a scratch to be found anywhere on her. Shortly thereafter she discovers that she had died that night of the accident, but a mysterious woman named Alice had arrived on the scene and brought her back to life. This strange woman shared a part of her "Sacred Heart" with Mahito, giving her life as a Median, or Undead. It is a strange world Mahito is introduced to. As a Median, she possesses unique powers and sees the world around her for what it really is - a place quite different than what we humans perceive.
