Lifestyles of the Lich and Aimless

Kiz is a magic researcher who has finally conquered death, imbuing her skeleton with enough magic to achieve functional immortality. However, she soon finds that her triumph has come at a terrible cost: in the process, she has lost the most important person in her life.

Eirin is a travelling entertainer who keeps turning up on Kiz's doorstep, armed with unfailing optimism and a totally insufferable sense of humor. She's irrepressibly dedicated to trying to cheer up the grieving sorcerer, but she also hides certain secrets of her own.

Will the two of them each discover something in the other that gives them new purpose and strength? Or will their many differences and the heavy burdens of their pasts tear them apart first?
