    MIKI FALLS: WINTER is the final volume in the four volume MIKI FALLS manga series.  The story opens with
    Miki and Hiro camping out and on the run from the Deliverers, who are out to find them, since their relationship is
    against Deliverer rules.  

    Anra, Hiro’s hold spirit, is leading Miki and Hiro on a path to Otaru, where they should be able to catch a boat to aid
    in their escape plan.  But when it appears that Anra isn’t listening to Hiro anymore and leading them straight into
    danger, Miki and Hiro aren’t sure who to trust.  

    Will they be able to escape the danger that lies ahead?  Will they get caught?  And will they be able to stay together?    

    The MIKI FALLS series is one of my favorite manga series.  Mark Crilley has created an enchanting story and his
    artwork is amazing -- when Miki and Hiro are freezing in the snow, you feel the cold along with them.  

    If you’re a fan of manga, add this to your must-read pile.  I don’t want to say much more, because you really need to
    read it for yourself to discover the ending to this series.  Mystery, romance, and magic all come together to make this
    an exciting conclusion!
