Yowamushi Pedal, Vol. 9

What could lead a popular high school teacher to set himself up as the devil? And what is the secret behind his mysterious mask, which gives him the power to condemn the wicked to an eternity in his custom-made City of the Damned, a ghoulish structure of blood and flesh erected in the middle of the American Heartland?

Ripped out of retirement by an assassination attempt, the world’s most deadly spy–the former agent known as Black Kaiser–is a wanted man that’s wanted . . . dead! On a collision course with his former employer, the Damocles Agency, Black Kaiser goes head to head with a stab-happy, psychotic torture expert and a seductive but deadly redhead. His mission only ends if he dies or kills everyone out to get him, and he’s not in the habit of dying.

Caster’s sorcerous power is growing seemingly without limit…and with a depravity to match his psychotic human master. And as Berserker battles Archer by seizing control of one of the fighter jets sent out to stop the eldritch horror manifesting in the Mion river, the worm-ridden Kariya staggers towards Tokiomi, determined to take the mage down…before he meets his own inevitable doom!
