About this title

Synopsis

Toneriko Furoribanda is an orphan whose family was slaughtered 10 years ago. He blames his mother and sister's deaths on Tekirai, the mysterious "Number 1" hitman belonging to the assassins' guild Thanatos. Contrary to reason, Toneriko does not hold Thanatos itself responsible, as he himself joins the guild and becomes one of the "Numbers" with a top 10 ranking. He quickly attains the title of "Number 5" but lacks the skills to climb any higher. Toneriko longs to usurp Tekirai and exact his revenge against the man, almost as much as he wishes that he could bring his family back to life. The latter should be impossible, but the Numbers' supervisor, Ageha, tells Toneriko about the legend behind Thanatos' existence: each time the 10 Numbers execute 999 murders, a "Black Sheep" cycle is completed; if Black Sheep occurs 10 times, fulfilling a goal of 9999 murders—then whoever is Number 1 at that moment will be raised to God's Realm of Asgard and granted supreme power from Yggdrasil, able to rewrite the world as they desire!

The main protagonist. Toneriko is the Number 5 ranked hitman of Thanatos. In Chapter 1, it was shown that his family was killed by Tekirai ten years ago, when he was just a child and for that reason he joined the guild. He has two weapons, which are pistols called "Evergreen". His aim is to defeat the man who killed his parents, No. 1, Tekirai, and to protect the gardener, Mizuto. His relationship with Tekirai remains unstable, as he often vows to kill the man, but has often been founded slightly attracted to him as well. This is made clear when Ageha comments that Toneriko became "excited" when Tekirai appears, also when he further clarifies that Toneriko's "heart as been stolen" by Tekirai and, despite all efforts, Toneriko was not going to get it back.

Ageha seems to be the one who does all the paperwork for Thanatos. He gives contracts to the members of Number, and keeps records of all Thanatos business. Not much else has been specified - or even hinted at - but one notable trait of his seems to be a particular fondness of tea... No voice actors have been added to this character.
