Black Bullet

In 2021, humanity is pushed to the brink when a parasitic virus called Gastrea infects people and transforms them into monsters. Survivors retreat behind the Monolith walls—fortifications made from Varanium, the one substance capable of harming Gastrea.

To hold the line, the Tendo Civil Security pairs “Cursed Children,” girls carrying trace amounts of the virus that grant them enhanced abilities—officially designated as Initiators—with adult partners known as Promoters, who supervise and protect them in the field. Black Bullet follows Initiator Enju Aihara and her Promoter, Satomi Rentaro, as they take on missions in Tokyo amid an escalating Gastrea threat.
