the art is spacious and beautiful, and the story was relatively intriguing. It is obvious that Misa would have great value to the right people, becoming a possible gateway between Contractors and the normalcy of being human.ĭespite it being awhile since I saw the show, this manga was a nice refresher to the characters (although some are quite noticeably absent whoa re in the show). Klang, a Contractor, seeks to save Misa, a girl he grew up with who happens to have the power to take other Contractor's powers away. When Kanna see's her father after he was supposedly killed, she ends up mixed up in a battle of contractors: those who aim to do right by their powers and those who abuse their powers. Most Contractors are hidden, a secret from society. Although these people have gained these abilities, each Contractor has a different price they must pay every single time they use their power (cutting themselves, giving up something, etc.). New stars have emerged in the sky, a sky created by Hell's Gate, and each star seemingly corresponds to a Contractor, a person who has been gifted (or cursed) with some kind of supernatural ability. Something called Hell's Gate manifested in the middle of Tokyo about ten years prior to the events in this manga. For fans of the show, the manga is much more concise and has some characters that (I don't remember them, anyway) are not in the show. This omnibus features both volumes of the Darker Than Black manga series. But just how much should she trust the Contractor known as the Black Reaper? Though he is unsympathetic to her situation, Hei agrees to protect her as she searches for her father. Fortunately, she is rescued from the clutches of death by Hei, the most wanted Contractor in Tokyo. Determined to prove her father is still alive, Kana begins her search, but her mission is attracting some rather dangerous attention. That is, until she spots her father in the street one day. Still struggling to pick up the pieces after her father's death last year, Kana has never troubled herself with the rumors about Hell's Gate. Devoid of emotion and conscience, these powerful killers have come to be known as Contractors.īut most people know nothing of the Contractors in their midst, and high-schooler Kana Shinoh is no exception. In their place, new stars emerged, each corresponding to an individual endowed with supernatural abilities. Ten years ago, the mysterious Hell's Gate suddenly materialized in the middle of Tokyo, and the stars of the night sky were obscured in darkness.
