Kodansha Comics Lists Ayanashi Manga for Digital Release

Kodansha Comics is currently listing that it will will release the first volume of Yukihiro Kajimoto's Ayanashi manga for digital release on December 5.

Kodansha Comics describes the manga:

In this world, humanity has been driven underground to live like moles, hiding from the fearsome monsters which roam the surface. The monsters are impervious to every sort of weapon known to man. The only ones with the power to defeat them … are the Ayanashi.

One day, in one such underground city, a pair of siblings encounter a mysterious boy covered in wounds. The boy introduces himself as Holo, and in the following days slowly opens up to the pair … until a monster from the surface descends upon the city, laying waste to everything in its path. Holo stands to face the threat, brandishing a flaming short sword attached to his right arm. And so, the story of bringing light back to a world of everlasting darkness begins.

Kajimoto launched the manga as a debut title in Kodansha's Shōnen Magazine R in August 2016. Kodansha published the manga's second compiled book volume on August 17.
