Crimson Grave (クリムゾングレイヴ) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Miyake Taishi. It started serialization in the shōnen manga magazine Dragon Age Pure since 2006.

Plot

The story is set in a time when the world is beset by monsters and other creatures with mystical abilities. The story centers around Ash Grave and Mirim. Ash is a descendant of the god of death and is also known as the "black-winged devil", while Mirim is a Crimson, a top-ranking member of the "Ten Pillar Swords Guild" and the wielder of one of the ten crimson blades forged by the gods to protect the world. They both have a common goal; revenge upon the "Descendents of the Gods", who seek to purify the world of humanity.[1][2]

Ash is somewhat of a pacifist in the vein of Vash the Stampede from Trigun, believing strongly in the value of human life and its endless possibilities; a view he gained from a young human girl eight hundred years ago named Mia, who bandaged his wounds in spite of his kind being at war with humanity. His enemies and kin, on the other hand, have retreated to obscurity, particularly in the hierarchy of the Church, to carry out a centuries-long plot to eliminate the humans who defeated them in the long-ago conflict.
