After losing his mother, Ben sinks ever deeper into despair, and begins to blame himself for all of the recent happenings. Could the death of the Black Coats be his fault? Was all of this caused by the "powers" he gained after being bitten by an ash monster? His meeting with Lazare, a member of the Black Coats, clouds the matter even further. Lazare claims that the one behind it all is actually the Whistler, a mysterious individual who can control the ash monsters simply by whistling. But where do these monsters come from? And what is the Whistler's goal?

As attacks grow more frequent in Sector 3, Ben's power surges, and the ash gradually eats away at his arm. Could he be turning into an ash monster himself?

This second volume plunges readers back into the striking and original world of a manga that blends oppressive claustrophobia, action, and an initiation quest.

"Ashes offers thrilling energy and shows real respect for the genre from which it borrows, like a mixture of Germinal and Drifting Dragons. A very pleasant surprise."
