Series: Cocoon of Salvation

Summary

This is the fourth volume of the series. This volume covers: Rena presses Sora Amami on his past, and he finally lays bare everything about Amane's love and hate, mixed with one painful memory. Yōhei Takebe's former companions also appear in this volume, the two eccentric oddballs Jō Kirishima and Anra Kirishima. Meanwhile, the source of infection comes to Sora again, speaking to him of Oto's existence and the meaning of "growing up." Just as Oto begins her extraction of consciousness, Sora unexpectedly discovers that Rena is also suffering from Lost Rebound Syndrome. The story begins with an email from a dead sister, and follows Sora Amami as he fights alongside his companions as a Blade Banner Bearer amid the mysteries of the "Coffin Keepers," the enigmatic cocoons, and lost memories, inching ever closer to the truth of the world.

Editor's review

《救世之茧》是森山大辅继《圣枪修女》之后的长篇代表作，2004年至2014年在少年画报社连载，全13卷完结。作品最见功夫的地方在于「谜」的设计：一封来自死者的邮件、一只从茧中出现的婴儿，再加上记忆缺失，从日常场景开始一步步把读者拖进非日常。它并不靠单纯的打斗推进剧情，而是不断追问「谁在说谎」与「人为何存在」，因而在同类奇幻战斗漫画中多出一层思辨色彩。本册是全书进入中段后承上启下的一卷：天海陆被迫交代过往，也在自己心上又添一道旧伤；新人物雾岛让、雾岛鞍螺的登场，让阵营关系更复杂；感染源的话语与音音的榨取事件，则把「长大」这条线索往前推进一步。如果你一路读到第4卷，会在这一册里感受到前期埋下的伏笔开始收紧。

《救世之茧》第4卷是整个13卷系列中的第4册，剧情紧接前3卷。天海陆与天音的爱恨、与蕾娜的搭档关系都在本册集中摊开，建议按顺序阅读，直接读本册会较难理解人物动机。

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.
