***Evershade*** (エバーシェイド, *Ebāsheido*) is an online action-adventure manga series created by Alex Guy, which the entire *Evershade* series originated from. It is the main topic of this wiki project.

Based on two previous series created by Alex Guy, it depicts the adventures of multiple characters, gifted with abilities and much fighting potential, traveling across different areas around the nation of Evershade. While training to become the best, they must overcome obstacles and threats along the way, including rivals and malicious organizations.

Authored by Alex Guy, he was also assisted by Harry Harrup, who only helped with the coloring and ideas. The first story arc, *Evershade Beginnings*, was completed two months before it was released, therefore despite the chapters being released once a week, Alex Guy was able to work on the subsequent story arcs during *Evershade Beginnings'* release.

There is no consistent order in which the arcs take place, as some even take place in alternate timelines and include reality changing events, although there is an official timeline to piece together the series events. Published online, the series originally ran from 2014 to 2040 and despite receiving mixed-to-positive reviews, it was very successful.

Its success also lead to the creation of an alternate adaptation, *Re:Evershade?!*, written by Harry Harrup and illustrated by Alex Guy.

He makes a minor appearance in *Regional Crusaders* when he is found by Kyotaro and his group after several years in isolation, freeing Azure from his stone state before disappearing again, needing time alone to grieve over Blaine's death. He returns in *Evangelion Evolution* where he travels to Ocean City to find his long-lost sister, Kimiko Haven, and aids Sam and Mizuki against the Evolutionary.

He founded the Chaos Agency and began to work on a super-soldier serum, wanting to take over East City first.

Before his death, though, Blaine uses the last of his strength to sever Dakera's left arm.
