About
What happens when an unlucky girl meets an undead guy? Pure chaos! All Fuuko wants is a passionate romance like the one in her favorite shojo manga. Unfortunately, her Unluck ability makes that impossible. But just as Fuuko hits rock bottom, Andy sweeps her off her feet—literally! Now she’s become Andy’s unwilling test subject as he works to find a way to trigger a stroke of Unluck big enough to kill him for good. However, when the pair discovers a secret organization is hunting them, it puts Andy’s burial plans on hold.
Character analysis
Andy's body repairs itself from almost anything, which sounds like a dream power until you realize what it actually means for him: centuries of loneliness, since everyone he's ever cared about eventually dies while he doesn't. His goal isn't heroism, it's death, specifically a death chaotic and strange enough to actually work on him. That makes him an unusual lead — someone whose entire arc is about searching for an ending rather than avoiding one, which the story mines for both dark comedy and real sadness.
Fuuko's ability makes bad luck happen to anyone she touches, which has made real human connection basically impossible for her entire life. Meeting Andy changes that, since he can't actually be hurt by her the way everyone else can, which makes him the first person she can touch without destroying something. The story treats her power as a genuine tragedy before it treats it as a cool ability, and her growing bond with Andy becomes the emotional center of a series that could have easily stayed purely about wild fight scenes.
Shen is one of the first serious threats Andy and Fuuko face, tied to the larger organization that manages people with unusual abilities like theirs. Fights like his usually exist to establish the rules of the power system for the reader — what's possible, what the limits are, how creative the story is willing to get with its central gimmick. His specific motivations and deeper characterization would need a closer read to describe beyond that structural role.
Tatiana belongs to the same organization that tracks and manages 'Negators,' people like Fuuko and Andy whose abilities break normal rules. Characters introduced this way usually straddle the line between ally and threat, useful to the leads but working toward goals of their own. Her specific personality and arc would need a closer, more detailed read to describe with real confidence.
Billy is positioned as a significant player in the same secretive group that oversees Negators, suggesting real authority or strength within that structure. Characters at this level tend to shape the bigger picture of the plot rather than just the immediate fight in front of them. Without a closer read of his specific arcs, it's hard to say much more about his personality with real confidence.
Status evaluation
The art handles creative, chaotic power visualization well, which matters a lot for a story built around a wide range of unusual abilities.
The series is well-regarded for its creative power system and the way it balances dark premise with fast pacing.
Despite the grim central premise, the series lands genuinely funny beats often, especially around Andy and Fuuko's dynamic.
Andy's centuries of loneliness and Fuuko's lifelong isolation give the story real emotional weight underneath the chaos.
There are some unsettling moments, but the overall tone stays action-adventure rather than horror.
Fights get chaotic and violent, at a moderate level typical for this kind of power-driven action series.
A large cast of 'Negators' with varied, creative powers adds real complexity to track as the story expands.
This is an ongoing series. The exact current volume count has not been confirmed against a current source and should be treated as approximate.
“An immortal man searching for something strong enough to finally kill him sounds grim, but somehow this one made me laugh more than it made me sad.”
