[Urban Fantasy] Haruto Tanaka, the "Blade in the Kami," is a shadow-wielding anti-hero with a frozen heart: he slaughters the "demons" without mercy, scorning the grief of those who see human faces in the hollow shells. Haunted by a past scarred by yokai and a loss that forged him into a hunter, Haruto forsakes the barrier's safety to hunt the Thirds—the apocalypse's true architects—in Kyoto's shadowed mountains. Allied with a reluctant miko and a trickster kitsune, he treads the edge of corruption: the more shadow mana he devours, the louder the mark whispers in his mind, blurring the line between avenger and monster.
In a world where the end doesn't scream but whispers, will Haruto's vengeance save what's left... or devour his soul?
