Dead Account
Synopsis
Always ready for a fight! Destruction for destruction's sake! The online streamer Aoringo is a troll, making the worst of the worst of boundary-pushing flamebait content and raking in the revenue from the hate-watchers. You may think he's nothing more than a bottom feeder and a drain on society, but in reality, he's high school dropout Souji Enishiro, a caring older brother with a sweet tooth who loves nothing more than his little sister. His viral videos? Just a way to pay his sister's medical bills. And even if all of humanity hates him, he doesn't care, so long as his little sister gets better. But then, something very strange begins to happen... Don't miss the debut of this modern-day occult exorcism battle manga! (Source: Kodansha)
Audience Consensus
Dead Account presents a fresh take on the exorcism genre with its unique digital concept and magic system. However, it suffers from a derivative and predictable plot, along with unremarkable animation. While some appreciate its modern twist and fast pace, others find it to be a generic shonen with underdeveloped characters and a reliance on clichés, resulting in a mixed reception.
