プラチナエンド [Purachina Endo / Platinum End]

From 2016 to 2021, Shueisha published Platinum End, a 14-issue supernatural thriller manga by the celebrated creative duo Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata—the minds behind Death Note and Bakuman. The series follows a despondent teenager granted godlike powers by a divine being, thrusting him into a high-stakes battle among 13 candidates vying to become the next god. With its philosophical exploration of life, death, and morality, Platinum End stands as a mature, thought-provoking addition to the creators' legacy, offering a darker, more introspective twist on the battle-royale premise.
