I’m the Grim Reaper, Vol. 1

Gr 9 Up–One sinner for one more day. That’s the deal the amnesiac Scarlet makes with Satan after she gets consigned to the worst level of hell. Panicked and unaware of what crime she committed, she becomes the Grim Reaper, tasked with slashing down those marked by a red X. However, as she quickly learns, the X doesn’t discriminate between crimes big or small. When she teams up with the disgraced detective Chase, she questions why he warrants the sinner label, even while using him to uncover her identity. Demons lurk in more ways than one, as her literal demon runs rampant when emotionally charged. Crimson pages beckon readers into this character-driven perspective on morality. It slashes outward from black heavy manga illustrations, and photographs altered to look like horror film backdrops. Atmosphere, moral dilemmas, compelling secrets, and tone-balancing comedic moments propel readers through this edgy Webtoon-based book.
