Enter a mind. What is it transcending humanity would do to you?  How would you reflect on the years gone by and the things you’ve learned? About life? About Heaven? About yourself? Well, we’re not transcending any humanities anytime soon, so maybe we can get a glimpse of the idea through everyone’s favorite vampire.

Nishio Ishin’s Over Heaven now has a completed and available English translation courtesy of Hi Wa Mata Noboru Scans’s leader Kewl0210, the guys you may know for doing the HQ scans of JoJolion alongside other popular titles. It is a decent length title. The story alone is just under 200 pages, and it comes along a few illustrations by Araki and an afterword by the author. I wanted to do a little book review like I did with Purple Haze Feedback, but I haven’t had the time to finish it just yet. It’s a very interesting idea to get Dio’s perspective on his childhood as well as his ideals and plans with The World and his followers. The language is a little flowery, I’m sure that’s an aspect of the original and not a translation issue, but not to an intolerable level.

You can find the download links on the Hi Wa Mata Noboru site. Please do give it a shot.
