The battle for the fate of the world begins with a single bite. All Seiji wants is to live like an ordinary high school kid. But for the past ten years, an unending stream of "accidents" have made it a daily battle to stay alive at all. So when a mysterious messenger hints that the answer to Seiji's problems may lie in his past, he digs up a curious pomegranate he'd once found at the bottom of a well rumored to lead to the underworld and tries to get rid of it for good. Unfortunately, that unearthly piece of fruit wasn't all Seiji brought back with him, and his split-second solution may have just opened an ungodly can of worms poised to rock this world—and the next—to its very core.

Volume 1 of the Fruit of the Underworld manga series by Aya Kanno.
