Between Shadows

"It isn't about whose quirk looks like what! The only thing that matters is what I choose to do with that quirk!"

Asaki Tsukoyami dreamed of becoming the hero everyone adored, of saving lives and hearing her name cheered in the streets. But her dreams seemed distant, a cruel illusion in a world that saw her quirk as a threat. Her shadow manipulation, her ability to create semi-sentient beings, was a gift-yet it made her a target, one that others feared.

Torn between the ideals of heroism and the weight of her family's dark past, Asaki struggles to find her place. She walks a thin line between light and dark, unsure of who she truly is or where she belongs in a society that judges her on what she looks like, not who she is.

It isn't until she enters U.A. High that she begins to unravel the truth: she's not as alone as she thought. Surrounded by friends who challenge her perceptions and face the harsh realities of their world alongside her, Asaki's journey toward becoming a symbol of hope is only beginning.

This is the story of Asaki Tsukoyami-an outcast, a hero in the making, and the world's Symbol of Hope.
