If you want some manhwa where MCU’s wear mask then this is it. You’re missing out on some really intense action sequences if you haven’t even read or watched this one. A giant wall looms over Tokyo, shielding the city from a dangerous overworld or otherworld called the Hell’s Gate. Within the city, things are no less terrifying because contractors, psychopathic killers with phenomenal powers have started to appear.
These killers are compelled to pay a price every time they use their powers, often in the form of meaningless or painful tasks. As their deadly habits rack up the gruesome death toll, Kiriraha Misaki and her team from foreign affairs, public security struggle to solve the cases and bring the contractors under control.

This is one of the best ones to be honest. It’s one of my favorite manga’s. Mikami’s middle age hasn’t gone as he planned. He never found a girlfriend, he got stuck in the dead end job, and he was abruptly stabbed to death in the street at 37. So when he wakes up in a new world straight out of a fantasy RPG, he’s disappointed but not exactly surprised to find that he’s not a knight or a wizard but a blind slime demon. But there are chances for even a slime to become a hero. In general, it’s pretty good. It was excellently, should I say, detailed with the artwork, of course, and it does a pretty decent job of keeping the story engaging. that it for today’s list of top 10 anime with masked main characters
