Kyosei Tensei

Kyosei Tensei, written by Arata Miyatsuki, is a psychological thriller manga series that explores themes of societal collapse and the moral decay of humanity. It emerged within the Seinen manga tradition, which targets a mature audience with its dark narrative tones, intricate plot twists, and high-stakes philosophical inquiries.
