Darker Than Black
Darker than Black is an anime series in science fiction, action, and thriller. The story is set in a world where a mysterious event known as the "Hell's Gate" has appeared in Tokyo, altering the sky and granting individuals supernatural abilities.

The anime follows Hei as an enigmatic figure with a dual identity—the ruthless assassin "Black Reaper" and the seemingly harmless exchange student Li Shengshun. Alongside his partner Yin, he takes on various covert missions and assignments while navigating the complex landscape of Contractors, secret organizations, and government agencies.
