Akuma no Riddle

悪魔のリドル

At Myoujou Academy, a secret unit called "Class Black" exists disguised as an ordinary class. Its actual purpose is assassination: one student is designated as the target while the others are assassins, each competing for the chance to eliminate them. Success grants any wish, while failure leads to immediate expulsion. Azuma Tokaku, a detached and emotionless assassin-in-training, joins the newest version of Class Black alongside twelve other girls. Among them is Haru Ichinose, a cheerful and optimistic student who believes in forming friendships and graduating together. Haru is soon identified as the target, prompting her classmates to devise plans for her death. However, Azuma begins to develop feelings for Haru and chooses a different path. She discovers a new sense of purpose, finding something truly worth protecting for the first time.
