Pandora hearts / Mochizuki, Jun

OZ makes his high-society debut at the manor of Isla Yura and intends on investigating the location of one of the stone seals when a demon unexpectedly descends on the party.

Alice falls into the Cheshire Cat's trap, which whisks both her and nearby Xerxes Break to the Cheshire Cat's lair, but with Sharon's help, Oz Vessalius and his valet, Gilbert, are able to find a way in and they encounter the man from one of Alice's earlier memories.

Oz's sudden appearance wreaks havoc in Pandora until Jack Vessalius manifests in Oz's body. Sensing the unease Jack's presence causes Oz, Uncle Oscar takes him and his companions to Lutwidge Academy to reunite Oz with his little sister, Ada, but the happy reunion is marred by the presence of enemies lying in wait for Oz, ready to torture him for answers about the past.

Oz, guided by the man from Alice's memories known as Jack Vessalius, travels back into the world of lost remembrances in search of Alice, and when he uncovers the tragedy of Sablier and the truth about Alice's memories, the powers of the B-Rabbit become a threat to everyone trapped in the dreamlike dimension, including Alice.

Oz is forced to face memories of his own childhood trauma after he rescues a boy being bullied, who is then claimed by Echo, an agent of the Nightray family.

"The pathetic farce that has unfolded in earnest is no more than an absurd yarn spun by the man who caused the Tragedy of Sablier by following his heart's desires. The players in his tale begin dancing with abandon, their emotions bottled up inside, as though they are marionettes manipulated by a master puppeteer..."--Back cover.

Leo and the Baskervilles have taken over Pandora, and the past of Oz Vessalius is revealed.

"The tragedy that befell a bustling city a hundred years earlier. Eyes of ill omen. Stone seals. The warped gears that have continued turning since long ago play out a requiem for one who was much loved. The solemn sound of the dirge colors the world that hears its notes a melancholy gray...as though it was always meant to be"--Back cover.

"The earnest emotions of one man cross the divides of space and time, laying bare his life, which was long hidden in thedepths of memory. But when these revelations come to pass, the reality Oz has known begins to change and shift into something wholly bewildering. Could the desire in one man's heart have been the very darkness gnawing at everything all along...?"--Back cover.

"Oz. Leo. Inescapable tragedy assults and binds the two. He is no more. That simple truth tears their hearts apart like castles of sand caving in... But will history repeat itself when, in the midst of their sorrow, the two are pitted against each other in a struggle that could end in catastrophe?"--Back cover.
