14 Years Old is the crowning work of Kazuo Umezu, a master of Japanese horror manga, following his Drifting Classroom. It opens with a fortune teller's prophecy that "everything will end at fourteen." The story is set in a future world of highly advanced biochemical technology, where even the meat humans eat can be cultivated and produced through genetic engineering. One day, an unidentified life form appears in a chicken culture tank at a food biochemistry plant; at the same time, abnormal newborns known as "green babies" are born in rapid succession around the world, forcing humanity to confront fundamental questions about its own existence and the future of the Earth. With an eerie, uncanny touch, the work builds a modern apocalyptic atmosphere and repeatedly asks: what exactly is the Earth? What exactly is humanity? This volume is Volume 6 of the complete edition of 14 Years Old; the series re-divides the original four Japanese volumes into thirteen volumes and re-edits the contents of the original four, and also includes a newly drawn 18-page full-color true ending, along with fine color pages and two-tone pages. Note that the verifiable material covers only an overall introduction to the entire series and cannot confirm which specific plot segment corresponds to Volume 6; this volume therefore introduces only the series background and does not fabricate specific plot details.
