Kagetsu Tohya

In a world where beauty is a deadly illusion, humanity’s greatest predators walk among them—Shikiban, mesmerizing beings that lure victims with their ethereal charm before devouring their souls with a single whisper. Their existence is hidden from the world, but a secret organization, the Kageshiki, has sworn to hunt them down. Reika Kagetsu never asked for this war. One night—betrayal, blood, and darkness—then she wakes up in an unfamiliar place: Tenshiko Academy, an elite training ground for Kageshiki warriors. Branded as a trainee, she must endure brutal trials, deadly combat, and a world where only the strong survive. But something is wrong. The shadows whisper her name. The monsters don’t just fear her—they know her. And standing among the elite is Souta, the man she once trusted, watching her with a smirk—as if he planned her fate from the very beginning. Within Tenshiko Academy, there are only two choices: hunt or be hunted. Each trainee must slay Shikiban, absorb their power, and become living weapons. But as Reika carves her way through the ranks, a question lingers—what truly separates a Kageshiki from the monsters they kill? When the truth reveals itself, she must decide. Is she the hunter? Or has she been prey all along? A tale of vengeance, survival, and power—in this blood-soaked world, strength is everything. Mercy is death. And the whispers are calling her name.
