Pandora Hearts (InstanceTopic, 11)

From Compile Worlds

Pandora Hearts is an ongoing manga series brought to you by Mochizukin Jun (Sponsored by Square Enix), who also wrote Crimson-Shell. It's pretty infamous for its humongous list of Alice in Wonderland references and penchant for pretty boys and girls and clothing.

So far, it has a drama CD, novel and 25-episode anime adaptation, currently being localized by NIS America. Said anime has a fail 3-episode end, though, but it's not a huge loss; Yuki Kajiura composed some tracks for it, and, man, are they awesome!

Plot

Once upon a time, a cheery, young nobleman called Oz Vessalius lived a happy life, and is about to come of age (Through ceremony). Unfortunately, some red-cloaked shinigami creeps decided to send him to the Abyss for the sin of existing, for some silly reason everybody seems to refuse to say.

With an rabbit chick he meets there, he escapes the Abyss Like a Badass Out of Hell, and is met by three people from some kind of organization that seems highly related to this "Abyss" place. And so, with the help of the sorta-useless goth guy, they traveled the world, in search for the rabbit's lost identity, and other kinds of knowledge (Most notable, that "sin").
