Summary
Ten years have passed since Tatsuya first found Liliana in an alley, rescued her from a rabid pack of dogs and took her into his house. The two have solidified their relationship and their undying love for each other. And with their friends, they were able to accomplish many adversities along their way, vanquished many foes and mastered the power of the Getter that Tatsuya's father wielded. All is well with Tatsuya's new family with Liliana and their son Tatsumi. However, the monsters of his and his father's pasts would come to haunt his family and the Earth even after a decade.
