If you are not familiar with Ubel Blatt, the series began under Etorouji Shiono back in 2004, and it closed in 2019 after it moved to Monthly Big Gangan. The series is a dark fantasy as it tells the story of Koinzell, a simple half-human who is on a quest for revenge. The character wants to take out those who killed those closest to him, but there is a twist. Those who attacked him are now considered the Seven Heroes of the Land, so his quest for vengeance will not be simple.

“After twenty long years in the dark, the time has come for a confrontation with Glenn, one of the Seven Heroes. Hatred… envy… confusion… Kรถinzell’s heart overflows with emotion as he moves singularly toward his revenge, blade in hand! But it only takes an instant for the situation to take an unexpected turn… An epic fantasy on the grandest of scales!”
