Night High Series Denji Kobo Top |top| Online
What makes Denji so refreshingly unique is his moral ambiguity and his unashamed, primal desires. He isn't driven by justice or a code of ethics. His motivations often boil down to the basest of human instincts: food, shelter, and physical affection. He gets recruited into a government Devil Hunting agency not out of patriotism, but because he is bribed with the promise of a comfortable life and the affection of the beautiful, enigmatic Makima. This subversion of the classic "chosen one" narrative is part of the series' genius. Denji is a genuinely good person at heart, but he's also selfish, confused, and constantly manipulated, making him one of the most relatable and unpredictable protagonists in modern manga.
