Teruki Kosuka is a boy who awoke on his 16th birthday in a hospital, unable to remember a thing about himself or his history. He joins The Special Crimes Investigation Bureau's 7th Department in hopes of recovering what's been lost.

But with each fragment of memory he recovers, he sinks deeper into a darkness that threatens to eat him alive.

There's a night-stalking back alley assassin, a broken boy raised by a serial killer, and a girl who feels unwanted by the whole world itself. Then there's the mystery of his attacker, an event people only ever refer to as 'The Calamity', and why his head hurts every time someone speaks a name from a time he can't recall.

All these mysteries and more unfold in the first volume of AWAKEN!
