This month, we have an exciting new anime, Platinum End, from the creator of Death Note; Tsugumi Ohba is the writer, and Takeshi Obata is the illustrator. The series was initially published on Shueisha’s Jump Square, and the anime adaptation is coming out this month.

In case you haven’t heard, this anime follows Mirai Kakehashi, a student who attempts suicide due to the trauma of the abusive relationship he has with his relatives. When he’s about to kill himself, Mirai is saved by Nasse, a guardian angel, who tells him that God is about to step down, and Mirai is one of the candidates to take over the role.

As one of the candidates who will take over the role, he has to compete against the other candidates in a last-man-standing battle within 999 days to obtain the power.
