Fault-Bearer
Sora Daburu is a broke, angry young man living in a city where negative emotions can literally kill people.
In this warped society, those who manifest Fault, supernatural abilities born from emotional overload are branded as terrorists, lab-rats, or ticking bombs needing “therapy.”
Sora became one of them… while waiting for ice cream.
One violent outburst later, he’s a fugitive.
Then he’s “rescued” by Tarou — a legendary underworld figure who looks more like a homeless chuunibyo with a coupon addiction.
Dragged into a crooked state organization meant to “manage” Fault users, Sora becomes tangled in government conspiracies, slum politics, and absurd missions where monsters, mafia, and mental health officers are equally terrifying.
Now he must survive:
a decaying empire built on emotion-controlling drugs.
underground syndicates hunting awakened Fault-bearers.
deranged teammates.
a stalker girl who may or may not want to kill him.
and Tarou, who is either a genius, an idiot, or the most dangerous human alive.
All Sora really wanted was ice cream.
Now he’s stuck between becoming a hero, a villain, or the next public safety announcement.
