Monochrome Factor

Monochrome Factor #1
Story & Art by Kali Sorano

For Akira Nikaido, high school life is about as unexciting as it can get. All this is about to change when a suspicious-looking man, Shirogane, shows up near his home one day, asking to meet with him in school. Akira soon learns that Shirogane is not of this world, and that the Shadow Realm, a mirror of the human world filled with 'kokuchi'(shadow creatures) and 'Doppelgangers' where Shirogane comes from - is threatening to encroach upon the human world and engulf it into its darkness! But when Akira's own 'Doppelganger' is destroyed in a sudden ambush, Shirogane revives him as a 'Shin' to keep his human form from disappearing... Now trapped as an entity of the Shadow realm, Akira must fight to restore balance to both worlds, and find a way to change back into his human form again!

This manga has now been turned into a new exciting anime as well!
