D.N.Angel: A Story of Love, Secrets, and Supernatural Twists
The anime follows Daisuke Niwa, a seemingly ordinary teenager who discovers a bizarre family secret on his 14th birthday. Whenever Daisuke experiences feelings for his crush, Risa Harada, he involuntarily transforms into Dark Mousy, a suave and mysterious phantom thief with a long legacy. Unlike your average criminal, Dark doesn’t steal for personal gain. He carries on the Niwa family tradition, stealing magical artifacts with ties to his own mysterious existence.
Daisuke’s double life becomes even more tangled when Satoshi Hiwatari, a genius classmate with secrets of his own, begins pursuing Dark in an effort to capture him. As both Daisuke and Dark navigate their complicated emotions, friendships, and secrets, the series explores themes of love, identity, and fate, all wrapped in supernatural mystery and stylish action.
