What Is Platinum End?

It’s a Japanese manga series written by Ohba Tsugumi-Sensei and illustrated by Obata Takeshi-Sensei, who have also created the series, ‘DEATH NOTE’ and ‘Bakuman’. This is the third one created by these two authors.
It was serialized in JUMP SQUARE monthly magazine from November 2015 to January 2021. As for the comics, with 58 episodes in 14 volumes, it’s issued over 4.5 million copies in the world.
An anime television series adaptation will premiere in October 2021.
Whoa, it’s already concluded, huh? What kind of story is it? All the stories written and illustrated by these two great authors are famous for its battle of the mind, so I want to binge-read it if I can~!
I remember that ‘DEATH NOTE’ was super interesting that I couldn’t wait for the next episode to come out every week when it was being serialized back then.
Since it’s concluded, I would recommend you to binge-read it too! The final volume (Volume 14) just released in June so now is the great timing! This is one of the MUST-CHECK series towards the fall season!

Outline of Platinum End!

That day, a graduation ceremony took place in a middle school.
While many students yearn for a new high school life ahead of them, they seem to be reluctant to part with their friends, who they have spent days there.
Meanwhile, one boy, leaves school without being talked to by anyone.
Then he ‘shoplifts’ a piece of bread at the supermarket……
He walks up to the roof of a tall building and jumps from there.
……Leaving the words, “I wanted to be happy.”
He falls down straight to the ground and feels the shock.
…… Yes, he is still conscious.
He, who realizes that he is still conscious after he died, starts to feel strange. As he softly opens his eyes……
He sees an angel right beside him.
The angels says to the boy, Kakehashi Mirai, “I’m relieved that you made it.”
Mirai realizes that he was saved by the angel.
However, despairing at having failed to die…… he begs the angel to “push him down.” The angel turns down that offer, saying,
“You’re the one who said you wanted to be happy, no?”
With the words by the angel, Mirai hesitates to talk.
The angel knew that a young Mirai is left in the care of his abusive relatives, not being fed enough after the death of his parents from the accident.
The angel says she will give Mirai either “love” or “freedom!”
As for freedom, she said she will give him the “wings,” with which he can fly to wherever he wants to go without being seen by people.
As for love, she said she will give him the “arrow,” which allows anybody to have a crush on him for 33 days once he shoots them.
Both seem too unrealistic to him and Mirai ends up saying to her, “I want both.”
Now Mirai gets both the wings and the arrow by the angel.
Feeling hesitant, he gives it a shot and uses the wings and guess what……? Mirai has the wings on his back, being able to fly in the sky!!
With the wings, I can steal anything without being noticed by anybody.
With the arrow, I can contol anybody’s hearts who I have a crush on.
Mirai refutes to the angel, saying “this is what the devil would do.” Then the angel replies to him, “No such things as a devil exists. They do exist in humans’ hearts though. Say, in the heart of your relatives, who is the murderers.”
Mirai is stunned.
He has never thought of that.
The angel goes on. “Your foster parents (your uncle and aunt) were responsible for deaths of your father and mother. They cooked up your parents car so it would explode. They willingly wanted to take care of you to get all their insurance money……”
Mirai, once attempted suicide, finds himself getting shocked and angry. He once has thought that everything in this world was a crap……
“If you cannot believe it, why don’t you try the wings and see if that’s really true?”
Mirai flies with the wings and shows up in front of his uncle and aunt.
As soon as he shoots his aunt by the chest with the arrow, she “has a crush on Mirai.”
And she confesses that she and her husband cooked up his parents car and killed his parents and younger brother so they can have all their insurance money.
His kind parents and his beloved brother were killed because of the “money.”
While his uncle is trying to stop his wife, Mirai, who figured out everything, spits out a curse.
“You guys were the ones to be killed……!!”
As soon as his aunt hears what Mirai says, she commits suicide. That’s the way she apologized to Mirai because she “loved” him.
The wings, with which he can fly freely in the sky. The arrow, which allows anybody to love him.
Why did angel give these two away to him…… Mirai asks the angel.
“You are ‘the candidate fot the next God.’ There are twelve more candidates and I have to select the one in 999 days.”
Is it going to be like a death game, where 13 candidates with the same superpower fight with each other?
Exactly.
Dang……
