Empty Empire Volume 02 (Aug060244)

"Written and illustrated by Naoe Kita CMX. Rose - a clone of the great Emperor Idea - is reluctant to assume his position as the emperor's replacement. But when Idea's body is stolen and all hell is about to break loose, the Imperial Authorities have no choice but to force Rose to become the inspiring figurehead he was bred to be. A challenge from Migime, the man in possession of Idea's body, motivates Rose to rise to the occasion, though it means putting himself at great risk. Also, more is revealed about Ririka - the imperial guard who has befriended Rose - and her relationship with the departed Emperor.
