Second collection of Immortal Rain side-stories, alternative-stories and omakes.

From Inconnu: Zol, a bounty hunter who goes by the name of "Grim Reaper", spends his days chasing criminals under the orders of Fuse, his master and the city's respected major. One day, Zol takes up responsibility for burying a man who died in a hit-and-run on the streets. But much to his surprise, the supposedly dead man pops out of the coffin!! Is this the world's most wanted man, Methuselah?! This is the adventure-packed miniseries of the fateful encounter between the Methuselah named Rain and Zol the Grim Reaper, who is the grandfather of Immortal Rain's heroine Machika!!

Rain Jewlitt, known as the Methuselah, is a spaced-out, immortal, 624-year-old man dressed in priest's clothes. He's got eternal youth and a large price on his head… put there by those questing after the secret of his immortality. Machika Balfaltin is a tomboyish, energetic 14-year-old girl who, upon the death of her grandfather, sets out to kill Methuselah, the one bounty her assassin grandfather, Zol the Grim Reaper, couldn't kill. Instead, however, Machika ends up being saved by Rain again and again from other aspiring bounty hunters attacking them both. Sound like the beginnings of an odd relationship? You won't believe where their journey takes them… Note: Some sites say this manga ends on chapter 66 but there's a difference between the magazine and tank chapter numbers. The manga is complete with no chapters missing.
