Product Description

Rain arrives at the security office too late. He realizes he just missed Machika when Ys enters. As he chokes the boy, Eury enters and says Machika needs his help. They run to a window and find her hanging from a flagpole. A passing blimp gives them an idea. They pull it into the building and Machika lands on the top of the blimp, but it flies away again separating the two. Rain is trapped by Ys. Rather than be taken captive, he jumps from the height. Ys orders a new character, Dora Folk, to capture Rain. (Later, when Dora wants to go after him, he contradicts himself and says he doesn't care about Rain and Rain needs to come to him.) Machika regroups with Sharem. She wants to return to look for Rain, but Sharem says it's too dangerous. Later, Eury has what looks like Rain's dead body in his apartment. His apartment is being surrounded by Calveria forces when Rain jumps to life. They make a daring motorcycle escape. Rain jumps off saying he'll handle the chasers. But, Dora drives past him and stops Eury. He sends his pet, a low grade angel, to kill him. Rain returns in the nick of time, though it's a trap to catch him. Rain manages to kill the creature and evade the trap. He and Eury walk back to the city. Finally, an announcement is made on TV - Methuselah will appear at Siren's Castle, an amusement park, and take on any bounty hunters and assassins. Of course, Machika goes along with lots of others. Everyone is looking for him. The owner is making lots of money. At the last moment...he appears...

Totally awesome!
I'm not a fan of action-oriented manga, but THIS one surprised the crapola outta me. It had just the right balance of action, humour and drama to make it very compelling. The main characters are engaging right from the get-go, and the supporting cast add their own touch to the story. What's great is that we know right from the beginning that the main character has a terrible burden to bear, but the author doesn't reveal much, all the while managing to spin some great yarn! Can't wait to read volume 2!

PS: I'M A GARDEN TREE!! Totally classic...

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(...) this is one of the best manga I have read, my first was kill me, kiss me which is great as well, but this one surpassed my expectations, great artwork and some valuable sayings, I advise anyone to read it!

Absolutely Superb
Immortal Rain was the very first Manga book that I have ever read.At first, reading a manga book can be quite confusing because of the right-to-left reading pattern. Once you get the hang of it these books become very enjoyable. I found Immortal Rain to be absolutely wonderful. What Can I say about it? It has the elements that many look for in a good book. It has action, drama and even some comical moments! It contains a well put together story-line and talented artwork.
Rain Jewlitt is 624 is an immortal man known as Methuselah, whose only possession is a violin that he plays so badly that the heavens cry. Rain is much like an eternally young hippie. He is being hunted by people who either want to collect the bounty on his head or study him and unlock the secrets of his immortality. Machika Balfaltin, an energetic, tomboyish 14-year-old girl is one of his pursuers who just wants him dead. Upon the death of her grandfather,she sets out to kill Methuselah, the one bounty her assassin grandfather, Zol the Grim Reaper, couldn't kill. Instead, however, Machika ends up being saved by Rain repeatedly from other aspiring bounty hunters attacking them both. This seems to form the bonds of the ultimate odd couple.
Meteor Methuselah (as it is called in Japan) is a great read for teens and adults of all ages.
