Arm of Kannon, BIRTH バース, バース

In the remote regions of Tibet, far removed from human civilization, lies The Arm of Kannon, a device imbued with unfathomable evil energy. It has remained hidden from humanity's grasp until now. A scholar named Juzo Mikami, captivated by tales of its power and yearning to unravel the enigma surrounding this Buddhist relic, embarks on a quest to discover it. Despite his return three years later, he is forever changed, leaving behind his loved ones with an irrevocable transformation that will alter their lives forevermore.

Birth was published in English as Arm of Kannon by Tokyopop from May 4, 2004 to October 9, 2007.
