Summary
Goro Akechi returns to life six months after the fall of Maruki’s reality, spit out by the sea of souls onto a remote island off the coast of Japan. He brings back with him an ancient fairytale forest haunted by the ghosts of everyone he’s ever killed. And he is the only one who can free them from imprisonment in the woods.

When Ren Amamiya learns Akechi survived he becomes focused on the challenge he believes has been thrown down - to find him and drag him back to Tokyo. But for Ren discovering where Akechi has gone proves to be its own impossible task, one that might unravel him.

Summary
Being a leader meant putting the team before his own feelings, being a rock, a solid foundation to build their confidence. Being a leader meant saving face in times of crisis, even personal ones, for the sake of all those who relied on him. Being a leader meant being strong-willed and confident in times of need, a guiding hand to lead those who needed him. A leader was not someone who faltered under great stress. A leader was not someone who pursued hypotheticals and what-ifs for personal gain. A leader was not someone who chased after ghosts and tried to catch them in his hands at the cost of the blood of the living.
Yet Kurusu Akira could not let go of a dead man.

Summary
After a falling out with his parents regarding his future, Ren Amamiya enrolls in a culinary arts academy in the United States.
There, miles across the sea, he has a chance encounter with Goro Akechi, who’d left him with a single glove and the memory of a bitterly cold winter evening.
…He also learns that Akechi really can’t cook to save his life, nor can he afford takeout at the moment.
Ren, eager to prove himself beyond curry and coffee, needs a harsh critic in order to hone his culinary skills. Someone who won’t just nod politely and choke down whatever’s on the plate.
So, they strike up another deal.
Ren will prepare a new dish each time they meet. Akechi will taste it, and give his verdict.
If Ren can get Akechi to rank any meal an honest ten out of ten, then that means he’s succeeded.It’s a simple deal. And nothing could possibly complicate things.

Summary
There’s something missing in Ren's life, something utterly essential. Sometimes, when he’s lying awake in the early hours, he swears he can almost grasp the memory of it in his bare hand. It seems so real. But like a dream, he can’t recall anything about it. Only the feeling and the hole its absence has left behind.
Dr. Maruki's medicine is going to help him.
It has to.
It must.
When a crow lands at Ren's feet, he decides to nurse it back to health. But doing so has unforeseen consequences.
