Daemons of the Shadow Realm, Volume 1 launches the latest masterpiece from Hiromu Arakawa, the legendary creator of Fullmetal Alchemist. This is not a story of inherited power — but of ancient pacts, twin flames, and the price of controlling darkness. In a modern world where supernatural forces hide in plain sight, a boy named Yuru lives in a quiet rural town with an extraordinary secret: he can command two mighty daemons bound to his will. But he knows nothing of his own past. When a mysterious woman from an organization called the "Shadow Guard" arrives, Yuru learns the truth. He is one of a rare line of "Binders" — and someone is hunting his kind. To protect his family and unlock the mystery of the daemons who share his soul, Yuru must step into a shadow war that has raged for centuries.
