DN Angel


aisuke Niwa, an average teenager until his fourteenth birthday, declares love for his crush, a girl named Risa, and is rejected. Later that day, he undergoes a strange mutation, and becomes another person. He is told calmly by his mother that because of cursed D.N.A., all the males in Daisuke's family gain the countenance of Dark Mousy, a famous phantom thief. The transformation occurs every time Daisuke has romantic feelings -- in other words, whenever he thinks too long about his crush. Daisuke is forced to keep his family's secret and control his alter ego, Dark (who Risa, Daisuke's crush, has fallen for), all while dashing his way out of being caught by the commander of police. It doesn't help that Dark developes affections of his own for Risa's twin sister, Riku, and that his dynamic personality tries to take over Daisuke's body any chance he gets. Daisuke learns that in order to return to normality, he must have his unrequited love returned.

The commander of the police aforementioned is a classmate of Daisuke's, named Satoshi. Satoshi is affected by his own version of the phantom thief curse, and a bond between Satoshi (see below) and Daisuke forms because of their similar afflictions. Satoshi carries the alter-ego of Dark's mirror image, Krad. However, though Dark and Krad hate one another, Satoshi and Daisuke maintain a strained but genuine friendship - despite Dark's constant moaning. Dark steals certain artistic objects of value, works made by Satoshi's ancestors, because they contain dangerous magical properties. Some of them, such as The Second Hand of Time and Argentine also have personalities.
