❥ Seraph of the End

Seraph of the End

1. Yuichiro's dream is near-impossible, given that vampires are seven times stronger than humans, and the only way to kill them is by mastering Cursed Gear, advanced demon-possessed weaponry. Not to mention that humanity's most elite Vampire Extermination Unit, the Moon Demon Company, wants nothing to do with Yuichiro unless he can prove he's willing to work in a team-which is the last thing he wants!

2. Now that Yuichiro has earned his place in the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, he prepares to undergo a fiendish test to acquire the most powerful and deadly of humanity's weapons against vampires-Black Demon Series Cursed Gear. Meanwhile, the vampire nobility welcome a new member-Mika, the best friend Yuichiro thinks died in their escape but who has his own bitter story of survival.

3. Yuichiro survives the trial to acquire Cursed Gear-demon-possessed weaponry that is humanity's only hope for combating the vampire scourge. But times are dangerous, and instead of getting to celebrate his newfound power, Yuichiro and his friends are given their first mission: head to Shinjuku and investigate vampire activity. Unbeknownst to Yuichiro, Mika, his best friend and now a vampire, is headed for the same place.

4. A vampire attack reunites childhood friends Yuichiro and Mika, though they now face each other from opposing sides of the battlefield. Mika begs Yuichiro to forget about the conflict between humans and vampires and escape with him, but Yuichiro is unable to abandon his new friends. Then, everything changes when Yuichiro suddenly transforms into a monstrous being with one seraphic wing!

5. Yuichiro has no memory of his terrifying but temporary transformation into a one-winged monster during the battle for Shinjuku. The widely feared leaders of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, however, take note of his squad's unusual talent. Despite the unwanted attention, Yuichiro's resolve to save Mika from the vampires crystallizes as his real training in demon possession and manifestation begins.

6. The only thing standing between humans and complete slavery to vampires is their tenacity and Cursed Gear. Yuichiro has the first in droves, but to increase the amount of power he can draw from the demon inside his cursed sword, he enters a coma-like state to thin the barrier between human and demon. His power boost can come none too soon as the vampire queen reveals her plans to annihilate the human resistance.

7. Thanks to intelligence acquired by the upper echelons of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, the human resistance knows that vampire nobles are massing in Nagoya prior to an attack on the human stronghold of Tokyo in one month's time. Yuichiro's squad joins a secret mission to exterminate them, but the Moon Demon Company is very unimpressed with their lack of polish. Can these rookies prove their worth in real combat?

8. The attack on Nagoya begins! The Japanese Imperial Demon Army descends on the vampire nobles, aiming to exterminate them completely. Three squads are assigned to take down each of eight nobles. Because they are undermanned in comparison, Shinoa and Narumi squads will have to work together seamlessly to take down their one noble. But lurking amongst the nobles is Crowley Eusford, a formidable vampire eager to drink dry his would-be vanquishers.

9. The attack on Nagoya continues! The Japanese Imperial Demon Army descends on the vampire nobles, aiming to exterminate them completely. The nobles fall one by one until vampire Crowley Eusford takes twenty human hostages. He aims to lure Guren out and capture him for information. Can Guren, Shinoa and Narumi squads work together to rescue the hostages and defeat Crowley and his minions?

10. After losing his mind to Asuramaru's power in his attempt to save Guren, Yuichiro goes unconscious and is stolen away by Mika. When Yuichiro finally wakes up, he learns that Mika is dying from lack of human blood. Yuichiro offers Mika the choice to drink his blood and become a full vampire, but Mika has something very important to tell Yuichiro about the Seraph of the End project that could change his life.
