Summary

This is Volume 3 of the World Embryo series; the Japanese original's subtitle is "Mask" (Kamen), and the traditional Chinese edition was published by Taiwan's Changhong Press. In the previous volume, protagonist Amami Riku inherited the will of Takebe Yohei and formed a partnership with Arisugawa Rena, fighting as a "Blade Banner Wielder" against the memory-devouring monsters known as "Coffin Keepers." This volume opens with NEFT headquarters, suspecting Riku has had contact with the "infection source," arranging for Rena to live next door to him to strengthen surveillance—thus begins their cohabitation and secret monitoring. Soon after, a Coffin Keeper who escaped an earlier battle infiltrates Riku's school, targeting Nono, who is also on campus. Caught off guard, Riku is forced to fight on the spot, hiding his identity from classmates while protecting those dearest to him. As the mysteries of lies, memory, and the "cocoon" continue to deepen, Amami Riku's situation in battle and in his choices grows increasingly difficult. This is the third volume of the series, collecting Japanese chapters 17 through 24, approximately 220 pages.

Editor's review

《救世之繭》是森山大辅继《圣枪修女》之后的代表作,2004年至2014年连载于少年画报社,全十三卷完结,以“记忆被吞噬”“茧中诞生”等设定构筑出一个冷峻又充满谜题的黑暗幻想世界。第3卷是系列由“设定铺陈”转向“贴身危机”的转折点:监视者住到隔壁、怪物潜进校园,日常与异常被强行揉在一起,张力明显升级。森山大辅的分镜干净利落,战斗场面紧凑,同时不忘在人物关系里埋伏笔——蕾娜的监视身份、音音的特殊存在,都为后续更大的谜团铺路。繁体中文版由长鸿出版社代理,是中文读者接触这部作品最主流的版本。适合喜欢黑暗系奇幻战斗、偏好慢热铺陈与伏笔回收的读者按顺序追读。

Reading tips

  1. 请按第1卷至第3卷顺序阅读,本卷情节承接前两卷的搭档关系与敌方设定。
  2. 阅读时可留意“谎言”“记忆”“茧”三类意象,它们是全篇核心谜题的关键线索。
  3. 留意蕾娜的监视身份与音音的特殊性,这两条线会在后续卷数中继续发酵。
  4. 若读日文原版,本卷对应《ヤングキングアワーズ》第17话至第24话。

About the author

Daisuke Moriyama Author

Daisuke Moriyama is an author known mainly for manga creation. Public information about him is limited, and neither his dates of birth and death nor his nationality are clearly recorded. The library holds 13 of his works, the vast majority belonging to the World Embryo series, including volumes 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 and 13. This series is therefore his most prominently represented work in the Chinese-language book market. His books are often classified under manga and cartoons, fantasy novels, premium fiction and children's literature. The subject matter tends toward serialized manga with fantastical elements, with the narrative unfolding gradually around the series' setting; the volume-by-volume publication also suits readers following the story book by book. Because verifiable information on his career, awards and mentors is very scarce, this introduction can only offer an objective description based on the works and categories in the library, without speculating about his personal experience. Readers who wish to learn about him should still take the works themselves as the main clue.
