Synopsis: Zaha Sanko's body has great and terrible powers--they say that possessing his bones will grant you any wish, even the desire to become ruler of the universe. But Sanko is still a teenage dude with his own life, and he isn't about to let every monstrous lowlife in the galaxy rip him limb from limb. He and his skeletal buddy Avakian will use their dark powers to fend off any murder attempts while they search space for whomever put this curse on Sanko's bones...because killing them might end the madness. (And then Sanko can celebrate with his favorite spaghetti.)

My rating: ★★★★☆

This was a fun and pretty interesting manga. Right off the bat, I really enjoyed the illustrations just because they were so creepy 😆 I liked it!

So, our protagonist, people are always after him, trying to kill him for his bones. Why? Because apparently, by doing so, whoever holds his bones gets a wish granted. Sucks for Zaha Sanko, especially because he seemed like such a golden retriever and bad things just kept happening to him 😩 But make no mistake, he can defend himself WELL. Which is why things got gory. I liked him! 😆

Anyway, the poor guy is trying to figure out who cursed him, because getting almost killed at every turn is no fun. We also got some flashbacks, which were very helpful in establishing who this character is and why he is the way he is. Lol. But yeah, I liked this and all its gore. Lol.
