Blade Note webtoon


Yup, obvious reference to Death Note but don't walk away because this is really good, gory.

The weight of the souls of the dead who demand justice. NIF, and that tugs at my heartstrings. If a heart was a bag or a puppet. Hmm. Metaphor smash crash.

This kid is the lone survivor of a massacre that killed 300 kids. A mass slaughter done by the Illuminati who rule the world with super powers. It was a party, done to have fun.

This world is rotten and already decaying. There is no justice. The rich and the powerful can do anything they want. And the 300 ghosts haunt the only kid still alive, whispering in his ears day and night. Until a block of metal arrives, which silences the voices.

The kid fashions a sword and shurikens out of the metal and goes to war. Alone but for his ghosts. Against a multinational organization of super powered rich people. The ultimate underdog.

Ouch, discontinued manga. Why do the good ones die first? So, the author fought with his artist, here.
