Kenji Itaguro has always known his life was a countdown. As the heir to the most dangerous Quirk lineage in history, his path was never about "Plus Ultra"-it was about survival. To master the Ten Shadows, he must defeat monsters in the dark; to lose one is to lose a piece of himself forever.
While his childhood best friend, Kyoka Jiro, dreams of vibrating the world with her music, Kenji is content to stay in the background, a silent sentinel in her shadow. But when they both pass the U.A. High entrance exam, the quiet life Kenji cultivated begins to fracture.
Between the explosive chaos of Class 1-A, the looming threat of the League of Villains, and a Quirk that grows stronger with every tragedy, Kenji must face a terrifying truth: The strongest shadow in his arsenal, the Divine General Mahoraga, is a weapon that can save the world-but only by destroying its master.
In a hero society obsessed with the spotlight, Kenji must decide if he will remain a servant to his bloodline's curse, or if he can find a melody of his own in the darkness.
