Shadow of Justice is a dark, psychological manga set in a city where crime once thrived under a broken legal system. When a mysterious figure wearing a devil mask emerges, criminals begin disappearing one by one. Unlike the law, he does not arrest, judge, or forgive—he eradicates crime entirely. As fear spreads, the city transforms into a place of absolute order and uneasy peace, where crime drops to zero and citizens are forced to question whether safety achieved through terror can still be called justice. A lone police officer investigates the phenomenon, torn between duty and the undeniable results. The story explores morality, justice, fear, and responsibility, building toward a chilling conclusion where the devil mask is quietly put away, leaving behind a city forever changed. Not all justice acts in the light.

Eren wakes up in a familiar city, but something feels wrong. The road he walks every day is still there. His old apartment still stands. But no one can see him. He calls out to people. No one responds. He looks at himself in the mirror—his reflection is blurred, as if he never existed. As night falls, Eren discovers something far worse: Others like him—those who were forgotten—are emerging from the shadows. And they are staring straight at him.

It was a quiet morning. Too quiet to mean anything. Yuuma Sangakai walked to school with his head down, counting the cracks in the pavement because looking up made things worse. Eleven years old. Too thin. Too easy. He checked over his shoulder once. No one. His stomach loosened just a little. “Please,” he whispered. Not to God, not to anyone in particular. Just a habit. “Not today.” "Hey Yuuma!" said Zoruhiko, his best friend, running towards him. Yuuma waves, "Hey Zoruhiko!! How are you?" "Hmm... Cool. What 'bout you?" asked Zoruhiko. "I'm awesome!!!!" said Yuuma. He remembered and said "Ay! I got this new bicycle today!! With gears!!!" "Woahh!! Then let's have a cycle race today from the bus stop till the new supermarket!!" screamed Zoruhiko in excitement... "Sure dummy!!! Be ready to get defeated!! At 8 PM today!!" proclaimed Yuuma, arrogantly smirking. "Tch! We'll see 'bout that loser!" said Zoruhiko, annoyed...
On a quiet winter morning, Haru wakes up feeling strange. The blanket feels heavier, his hands look smaller, and his voice sounds softer. A gentle warmth spreads through his body, unfamiliar yet oddly comforting. Snowflakes drift outside the window, casting a soft glow into the room. Mio enters, calling his name with concern. Her eyes widen as she sees him — changed, quiet, confused. She doesn’t panic. Instead, she calmly says she’ll prepare clothes and guide him through this. Moments later, Haru stands in the bathroom, staring at his reflection. His body is different, but the warmth remains. Mio leaves a soft, neutral outfit outside the door — nothing flashy, just something safe and comforting. After the shower, Haru dresses slowly, adjusting to the new sensations. He walks into the kitchen where Mio waits with a warm meal. She smiles gently and says, “You’re okay… I’m here.” The snow continues to fall outside, but inside, everything feels still — like the beginning of something new.

Bagas selalu pamit dengan cara yang rapi. Tidak pernah tergesa, tidak pernah dramatis. Seolah pamit adalah bagian dari etika kerja—bukan perasaan. “Duluan ya.” Kalimat itu keluar dari mulutnya hampir setiap hari, di jam yang hampir sama. Nada suaranya datar, senyumnya tipis, cukup untuk disebut sopan. Ia berdiri. Mengambil tas. Menunggu satu detik. Selalu satu detik. Tidak untuk apa-apa. Hanya jeda kecil yang tidak pernah ia sadari alasannya. “Ya,” jawab seseorang dari balik layar komputer. Ada yang mengangguk. Ada yang bahkan tidak menoleh. Bagas melangkah pergi. Lift turun perlahan. Pantulan wajahnya terlihat di dinding kaca—tenang, tidak terburu-buru, tidak meninggalkan apa pun di belakang. Ia menyukai rasa ini. Rasa pergi tanpa ditahan. Di meja kerjanya, semuanya tertata rapi. Tidak ada barang personal yang mencolok. Tidak ada foto. Tidak ada catatan yang tertinggal. Bagas percaya, barang yang mudah ditinggal tidak akan menyulitkan siapa pun. Termasuk dirinya.

# **SILENT SEASONS** ## COMPLETE STORY SUMMARY — ALL 30 CHAPTERS *A quiet, character-driven manga about guilt, communication, separation, and choosing to stay.* --- ### **CHAPTER 1 — THE SOUND OF NOTHING** Aki Mori lives wrapped in silence, avoiding the world with empty headphones. Hana Kurosawa transfers into his class, using a notebook and sign language. Her presence awakens memories Aki has buried. ### **CHAPTER 2 — WORDS BETWEEN PAGES** Aki and Hana begin communicating through writing in the school library. Silence becomes shared rather than isolating. A fragile connection forms. ### **CHAPTER 3 — HANDS THAT TREMBLE** Hana teaches Aki basic sign language. Aki struggles but keeps trying, showing effort instead of avoidance for the first time. ### **CHAPTER 4 — ECHOES** Flashbacks reveal Aki bullied a deaf girl as a child. His shame explains his fear of speaking and closeness. ### **CHAPTER 5 — DISTANCE ON PURPOSE** Aki begins pulling away from Hana, believing he doesn’t deserve her kindness. Hana notices but doesn’t force him. ### **CHAPTER 6 — A QUESTION LEFT UNANSWERED** Hana asks if she did something wrong. Aki cannot respond, deepening the emotional gap. --- ### **CHAPTER 7 — THE SHAPE OF AN APOLOGY** Aki confesses his past to Hana in writing, admitting his guilt without asking for forgiveness. ### **CHAPTER 8 — I AM NOT HER** Hana responds honestly: she is not the person Aki hurt, but she understands that pain. They remain together, cautiously. ### **CHAPTER 9 — RUMORS** School gossip puts pressure on Hana and Aki. Their quiet bond becomes exposed. ### **CHAPTER 10 — RAIN** Misunderstandings push them apart.

They walk forward together, changed but unfinished. --- ### **CHAPTER 13 — OUTSIDE VOICES** Hana joins a deaf community group, finding confidence beyond Aki. Their world begins to expand. ### **CHAPTER 14 — UNSAID THINGS** The notebook fails them. Assumptions replace communication, creating quiet tension. ### **CHAPTER 15 — WHO ARE YOU?** Hana asks Aki who he is without apologizing. The question shakes him deeply. ### **CHAPTER 16 — BREAKING QUIET** They decide to take time apart, understanding distance may be necessary to grow. --- ### **CHAPTER 17 — SEPARATE ROOMS** Aki and Hana live parallel lives. Silence returns, but it feels different—emptier. ### **CHAPTER 18 — LEARNING TO LISTEN** Aki learns that listening requires action, not just quiet. Hana learns strength doesn’t mean isolation. ### **CHAPTER 19 — ATTEMPTS** Aki practices speaking more, failing often but continuing. Growth is slow and uncomfortable. ### **CHAPTER 20 — THE PERSON I WAS** Aki confronts his past directly, seeking out the person he once hurt to apologize without expectation. --- ### **CHAPTER 21 — WORDS SAID ALOUD** Aki speaks clearly for himself for the first time. His voice is no longer only tied to guilt. ### **CHAPTER 22 — WATCHING FROM AFAR** Hana witnesses Aki’s growth without interfering, respecting his independence. ### **CHAPTER 23 — A FAMILIAR SILENCE** They meet again after time apart. The silence between them is calmer, no longer heavy. ### **CHAPTER 24 — HOME IS A PERSON** They acknowledge their feelings openly. Love is quiet, mutual, and chosen. --- ### **CHAPTER 25 — NEW SEASONS** Adulthood approaches. Careers and distance threaten stability. ### **CHAPTER 26 — FEAR RETURNS** Old anxieties resurface, but this time they talk instead of withdrawing. ### **CHAPTER 27 — SIDE BY SIDE** They face uncertainty together, supporting without depending. ### **CHAPTER 28 — NO PROMISES** They reject dramatic vows, choosing honesty over guarantees. ### **CHAPTER 29 — THE PLATFORM AGAIN** The story mirrors its beginning: a train platform, but now shared. ### **CHAPTER 30 — STILL, I STAY** Without words, they choose each other and the life ahead. Silence is no longer something to fear. --- ## **FINAL MESSAGE** *Some silences hurt. Some heal. And some are shared.* ## **END O

Heizou ruled the student council room like it was a chessboard, every move planned, every rule enforced. Kazuha drifted through the halls like a breeze, sleeves rolled up, trouble following him without much effort. When Kazuha landed in detention—again—Heizou was the one assigned to supervise. What started as sharp words softened into late conversations. Heizou discovered that Kazuha’s rebellion wasn’t cruelty, but restlessness; Kazuha saw that beneath Heizou’s perfect composure was someone tired of being alone. Papers were finished, rules were bent, and laughter replaced suspicion. By the time the bell rang, neither wanted to leave. Between order and chaos, they found something steady—each other.
