Date: 2020-08-21 04:22 am (UTC)Media: Manga, with a discontinued anime adaptation
Approx length: 65 chapters/24 episodes
Where to find it: Wherever you usually get your manga.
What is it, in summary? A high school boy joins up with a mysterious silver-haired man to fight creatures of darkness and restore the balance of light and shadow in the world. He meets more people from both factions as he learns about the two worlds and his place in all of it.
What do you love about it?
* beautiful character designs, including dramatic long coats and dramatic long hair
* detailed and dynamic fight scenes (and there are a lot of them）
* beautiful abstract settings! Escheresque mazes, wide open halls and towering arches in black and white (see links above) - the visual aesthetic of the last arc which I am requesting is a modern-minimalist architecture dream come true.
* I also personally love the concept of two worlds of light and shadow that aren't in conflict but must be kept in balance, and the themes of opposites, counterparts, and duality.
I highly prefer the manga continuity so my requests are angled towards that.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?
I'm requesting comics for the four Kings (Ryuuko, Shirogane, Homurabi and Shisui) from the deeper lore - they are the immortal beings who exist solely to maintain the balance and sometimes recruit humans to their cause. But something went very wrong and now Ryuuko is dead, Shirogane was excommunicated, and the world's balance is steadily declining. What were they like when things were better? How did they deal with the aftermath and the fallout of [spoiler event]?
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests?
Yes! Chapters 51-55 are the majority of the Kings' screentime and plot relevance, chapter 61 contains the conclusion to Homurabi and Shisui's story, and chapter 64 has Ryuuko's last significant appearance. Shirogane is a main character and Homurabi is a recurring antagonist so they both show up regularly in the rest of the manga.
Content warnings: Some violence, some stylized blood and gore (nothing that would warrant a gore rating), and the creatures of darkness they fight tend to appear as creepy-crawlies.
