Elania Resata isn't normal. No matter what definition you look too, she wouldn't fit any of them. While other girls like to say: "I'm not like other girls." Elania just wishes that she could be like all the others. But she couldn't. Even if she was allowed to leave the house, even if she was allowed to communicate to the outside world, even if her mother would let her go, she wouldn't because she couldn't. Because her skin was pink. Not tinted pink, not a blush pink, but pink like roses. 

Daniel Xiang is a completely normal boy, and all he wants is for something  extraordinary to happen. His life seems like a broken record tape, replaying the same things over and over again, nothing ever happening, the same events in an endless cycle...

Then, fate draws them together in the most unlikely of places, a Cos-Play Center at a convention. When they meet, for the first time in both of their lives, it seems like something is about to change.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
