About the series
In this compact 2021–2022 Yen Press series, a young man discovers that he is not only the prophesied hero but also the demon lord he's meant to defeat—a dual identity that turns his quest into a battle against himself. Writer and artist Ryosuke Hirai crafts a clever, self-aware twist on fantasy tropes, exploring what happens when the ultimate enemy is literally your own reflection. Though only four issues long, this manga series stands out for its inventive premise and tight, introspective storytelling.
