World's Greatest Assassin

Having lost the will to live, Mirai Kakehashi decides to kill himself on the day of his middle school graduation. However, Nasse the angel suddenly appears and saves his life. Furthermore, Nasse grants him Wings and Arrows to inspire hope in him. Mirai initially rejects Nasse's offer, but after acquiring the Wings, he slowly begins to regain his lost hope. However, Nasse reveals some shocking information to him... In order to verify the truth, Mirai confronts his aunt who is raising him.

Gift from an Angel

Nasse informs Mirai that he has been chosen to be a "God candidate." Only one out of the thirteen God candidates will be selected to become the next God. Mirai has trouble believing the news at first, but he decides to take the first step towards living a happy life.

Hero of Justice

April arrives, and Mirai is now a high school student. He heads to school on the day of his entrance ceremony, where he sees an angel flying overhead... and is shot by his childhood friend Saki Hanakago's Red Arrow of love. Having fallen for Revel, the angel's trick, Mirai is willing to give his own life to protect Saki. He decides to sacrifice himself to take down another God candidate, but... Meanwhile, masked God candidate Metropoliman makes his move, and the situation enters a new phase.

Heart's Beloved

Metropoliman sends a message to the other God candidates through a TV broadcast. He wants the candidates to assemble and discuss who should become the next God. However, God candidates Metro Blue and Metro Yellow who show up to the meeting do not believe Metropoliman's words. A rapidly shifting battle takes place at Jinbo Stadium. In the stands, Mirai and Saki struggle to decide what they should do... When the situation becomes even more desperate, the two are forced to make a difficult decision.

Time to Assemble

"I couldn't do anything..." With only those feelings of helplessness on their minds, Mirai and Saki leave Jinbo Stadium. It's hard to believe the two of them alone could challenge the overwhelmingly powerful strategist Metropoliman... However, another new God candidate makes contact with Mirai and Saki. His name is Nanato Mukaido. Mukaido tells Mirai and Saki that Metropoliman must not become the next God and proposes taking him on together.

Death Sentence

Serial middle school girl murderer Girl A escapes from the facility where she's being held. Mirai's group deduces that in order to lure out other God candidates, Metropoliman gave her Wings and an Arrow so she could escape. Mira despises Metropoliman's willingness to play dirty and do whatever it takes to become the next God. Eventually the first victim is found at the Grand Tower in the city, and the situation rapidly worsens. Mirai's group chooses to act to stop Girl A's murders.

Two Painful Options

Mirai and Mukaido use their Wings to fly to Grand Tower, where a sinister trap has been laid. Their enemy Metropoliman appears from within the shroud of smoke.

Mirai risks his own life to shoot an Arrow, and...

Tower of Nightmare

The battle they just had at Grand Tower cast a shadow on Mirai and the others in many ways. Saki, who wasn't able to participate in the fight, seems to be bothered by something. She then asks Mirai to kill her. Why was the kind and ordinary girl Saki chosen to be a God Candidate? Mirai finds out the truth and then asks Saki to make a certain choice. Meanwhile, high school student Kanade Uryu, who was actually Metropoliman, seems to be plotting his next move as well.

Symbol of Promise

A new God candidate sets a trap for Mirai and his companions.

The long-haired handsome man, a God candidate who wields swords in addition to Wings and Arrows, is named Hajime Sokotani. Hajime, who has lived a tragic life until now, worships Metrpoliman, who is his polar opposite, and wishes to become his loyal servant. In order to achieve his goal, Hajime targets Mirai and his companions and heads to a certain location.

The Face of an Assassin

Mukaido's wife and daughter are taken hostage by Hajime. He is so intent on rescuing them that he is caught inside a trap from which there is no escape. Mirai also enters the trap in order to save them. Meanwhile, with only a Red Arrow, Saki is left at home because she cannot help in a fight. Though she can't fight without Wings, she still attempts to go help Mirai and Mukaido. Upon seeing her, Revel the angel reflects on his own powerlessness... and tears fall down his cheeks for the first time...!

Where the Tears Go

Revel is promoted to first-rank angel and Saki acquires her Wings. They rush to the park where the fight is taking place, and she successfully shoots Hajime with a Red Arrow. Through the power of the Red Arrow, Hajime experiences love for the first time in his life. After an intense internal conflict, what choice will he make...? Meanwhile, Kanade has a trump card he's been hiding up his sleeve. It throws their fight into chaos, turning it into a roller coaster of a battle.

Your Own Worth

Fuyuko, one of Kanade's underlings, is a researcher who develops killer viruses. Fuyuko threatens Mirai and his companions by telling them that she'll conduct an indiscriminate terrorist act and spread her killer virus. She demands that they allow her to test her newest drug on them if they want to prevent the attack. Kanade names Mirai as the first guinea pig.
