abstract | - A manga series written by Kaori Ozaki, called Meteor Methuselah in the original Japanese. When Machika takes up her grandfather's legacy as Zol the Grim Reaper, she swears to take down the one bounty he couldn't: The immortal Methuselah. Upon finding him, she discovers the first of many problems with immortality: namely, such bounties are somewhat hard to cash in. Rather than let that stop her, she decides to follow Methuselah until she's able to achieve her goal. Methuselah, or Rain as he calls himself, appears at first to be nothing more than a clueless trouble magnet who can't play the broken violin he carries and thinks that letting himself get arrested is a valid form of transportation. But as time passes, and Machika finds herself drawn to Rain for more reasons than her grandfather's honor, the pair is caught up in a dangerous fight with a mysterious group looking for military technology long lost, and for creatures called Angels that Rain somehow knows how to kill. And she learns that Rain isn't just wandering the earth - he's waiting for something. Or someone. There are currently eight volumes available in English through Tokyopop. The ninth and final volumes is available in English online and will be released through Tokyopop sometime in January. The Japanese version runs in Wings comics, and the tenth volume was recently released.
