Embalming: The Another Tale of Frankenstein, Vol. 7

Embalming is a long-running seinen manga by Nobuhiro Watsuki, created after Buso Renkin. Originally titled Embalming: The Another Tale of Frankenstein, it draws inspiration from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and sets its story in late nineteenth-century Europe. The tale centers on the boy Fury Flatliner: when his parents are murdered by a tall man whose body bears stitching marks, he vows revenge, is transformed by the mysterious beauty Dr. Peaberry, and dedicates himself to hunting down rampaging artificial humans. Threaded through serial murders in London, the Jack the Ripper case, and factional strife among the created, the story gradually reveals the dark truth of how the artificial humans' holy land, Polar Route, declined from an ideal country into a battlefield. This is Volume 7 of the series. Ashuhit and Elmm set out for their homeland, Polar Route, to handle a commission from England and to perform an "adjustment" on Elmm. Polar Route, which was supposed to be an ideal homeland where humans and artificial humans coexist, has now transformed into a dark country where the created attack humans. Following Volume 6's revelation of John Doe's past, this volume shifts the narrative focus to the holy land itself, setting the stage for later conflicts.
