Akagan The Rise Against Maker Vol 2

The Orphans of the First Coming spent their entire childhood dreaming of one day joining The Rise Against Maker (RAM), humanity's last line of defense against the demonic Superhumans of the terrorist SCM cult. After surviving a childhood in the criminogenic slums of Yogokaya, The orphans are finally out of high school and prepared to take the RAM entrance exams, hopefully becoming the heroes they always admired. But earning a uniform is only the beginning... If they pass the entrance exam, the orphans would be deployed throughout the vast planet of Akagan. Terrifying new Shikemono monsters, powerful Akumashi and Bakemashi, and life-or-death battles would push their abilities beyond their limits. Strange disappearances, hidden facilities, and unsettling discoveries begin to raise questions about what exactly is going on in a potentially pre-apocalyptic world. There could be more to fight against than just random SCM terrorist attacks... Shugo and the others would find themselves traveling far beyond the comfort of the slums they once called home, witnessing both the beauty, mysteries, and horrors of Akagan. Every victory brings new responsibilities, every mission reveals new dangers, and every answer might lead to bigger questions. As power grows and bonds are tested, new recruits begin to realize that becoming a hero may be far more complicated than expected. As the truth slowly unfolds, the orphans must decide what it truly means to be a hero-and whether the world is really as simple as "good" versus "evil." Perhaps "Villians" and "Heroes" are much harder to recognize in the real world, outside of comic books and loaded public media. Akagan The Rise Against Maker Vol 2 continues the story of bonds, self-sacrifice, morality, mystery, and the search for truth in a world where appearances can be dangerously deceiving.
