Pandora Hearts By: Jun Mochizuki

Lost in the Abyss Oz is saved by a "chain" named Alice or the B-Rabbit. Chain's are humans who were summoned into the abyss and the only way out is by getting a contract with a human. Alice talk's her way into a contract with Oz and they both come back to the real world where they find out 10 years have passed since Oz was put into the abyss. Upon meeting Alice Oz learns that she has some slight memories of her life before the abyss.
