Diablo

    (Tokyopop, 2004-2005)
™ and © 2001 Kei Kusunoki and Kaoru Ohashi
Reads right to left; b&w

There’s a dark revolution taking place, and it’s happening right underneath the eyes of watchful parents and school authorities. The powers of Hell have seduced Japan’s disenfranchised and jaded youths, and conveyed upon them inhuman powers in exchange for their souls in eternal service.

Enter Ren and Rai, childhood friends who sold their souls to the Devil for the power to protect their childhood friend, Mio. Rai is the Shield and Ren is the sword, twin warriors who awakened before their time and have now sworn to fight the coming of Diablo to their last breath. (Teenagers who fall to the charms of the Devil turn at the age of 18—or 6+6+6 years of age—and forever lose their humanity.) Inexperienced and running out of time, can Ren and Rai save the sudden rash of fallen souls and fulfill their pact to die human—whatever the cost—before one of them turns?
