But Tập 3 introduces a darker mirror: , a genuinely handsome and charming student who is secretly a manipulative sadist. Sanada sees Kitano as a rival for the school’s underworld throne. Unlike Ikuno’s brute force, Sanada uses gossip, blackmail, and false flags.

In one unforgettable scene, Sanada frames Kitano for attacking a teacher. The entire school turns on Kitano — except Ryoko. She stands in front of him, arms spread, screaming at the mob: “Look at his eyes! He’s crying! A demon doesn’t cry!”

It is the first time someone actively defends Kitano’s character, not his reputation. This moment shifts the series’ emotional core. Up until now, Kitano has been a passive victim of misunderstandings. In Tập 3 , he becomes an active protector — not through violence, but through presence.

Essential reading for fans of dark comedy, subverted tropes, and the radical idea that kindness, even when misunderstood, can change the world. Angel Densetsu Tập 3 is available in physical tankōbon from Shueisha (Jump Comics) and digitally in various languages. Seek it out — but don’t judge the cover.

The yakuza-wannabes and street fighters of Hei High now look to Kitano for protection. His only friends — the cynical Ryoko (who secretly loves him) and the cowardly Hirata (who is terrified of him) — try to keep the lie afloat. Arc 1: The Transfer Student with Nothing to Lose The first major conflict of Tập 3 arrives in the form of Ikuno , a transfer student from a reform school. Unlike the previous bullies, Ikuno isn’t interested in rank. He is a genuine sociopath — quiet, sharp, and cruel. He quickly deduces that Kitano is a “fake.” But instead of exposing him, Ikuno decides to break him.
