Seraphim: 266613336 Wings

Two of the most acclaimed anime directors of all time, Mamoru Oshii ("Ghost in the Shell"), and Satoshi Kon ("Perfect Blue") came together to create a manga: Seraphim: 266613336 Wings. Written by Oshii and drawn by Kon, "Seraphim" is the story of a future Earth devastated by the "Angel Plague," a pandemic that induces apocalyptic visions in the afflicted, even as it ossifies their bodies into dead, seraphic forms. A cult-ridden, army-backed medical unit journeys into the heart of a dying Asian city accompanied by Sera, a mysterious girl linked to the phenomenon itself. Have they come here to kill or cure--and is the Angel Plague a withered branch on the tree of life, or somehow a new flowering of existence?
