Kiss X Reaper
Read the Auxiliary chapters for character insights.
Hello Reader! If you love old lore, a dense magic system, action-first storytelling, sweeping cosmology, a multinational stage, bold color imagery, and fights that reward imagination and attention to detail - you might like this! Before you dive in, read the story synopsis. Sankyuu!
Note: Deviants in this story are dark-energy illuminators, predators that feed on the opposing Natural Energy which sustains life and balance in the world.
Ancient Eyes are primordial deities, beings who have lived for hundreds to thousands of years, created to uphold balance and wield immense power. Or at least, that was their purpose. They are folklore entities, widely known and feared, each ruling over vast domains across the world.
If these concepts intrigue you, then don’t miss the story!
Yukie Saku, the ancient Eye of Snow and coldness throughout the world, has been stripped of much of her power and comes to the Grand Opera House seeking answers. There she meets Makoto Shirogane, the polite, inscrutable director from a once-great samurai house who, to the casual eye, seems merely formal and composed.
What Yukie does not know at first is far darker: Makoto is not just a Hunter of Deviants, who's two centuries old, and a man with secrets that span generations, his grand depth is more than everyone thinks.
When Yukie warns Makoto of an approaching doom, a force that feeds on Natural Energy and threatens whole lands, he agrees to help, but only on one condition: she must aid him in hunting Deviants. Stripped of much of her sight and power, the goddess must find ways to be useful, relying on wit, ritual, and fragile alliances to keep the bargain alive.
An uneasy accord forms: an ancient deity asking for a mortal she cannot fully fathom, and a man of formalism binding himself to a divine contract. Their uneasy partnership will pull them through political intrigues, corporate scaffolding that holds civilization together, and escalating supernatural threats where every awakening is a test and every bargain carries a cost.
This is Kiss X Reaper - a story of old gods, long lives, and the price of power.
