In the latest volume in this rip-roaring gothic fantasy, former slave and amnesiac Teito is faced with the momentous task of passing the tests to become a bishop — but he can't even control the bascule! For better or worse, he’s often forced to practice with his annoying roommate, Hakuren — but what Teito doesn't know is that Hakuren secretly faces his own problems, thanks to his nefarious family. Even more pressing on the duo are several disturbing circumstances: the mysterious murder of a criminal, the approaching forces of the Barsburg Empire who want Teito’s magic, and the sudden appearance of the deadly Wars heralded by a terrifying prophecy. 07-Ghost Vol. 4 features the same unforgettable characters, evocative artwork, and driving narrative that have made previous entries in this series a fan favorite.
