Noblesse (Korean: 노블레스; RR: Nobeulleseu) is a South Korean manhwa released as a webtoon written by Son Jeho and illustrated by Lee Kwangsu. Noblesse was first posted on Naver Corporation's webtoon platform Naver Webtoon in December 2007, and was concluded in January 2019; it was among the first webtoons to receive an official English translation at the launch of Line Webtoon in July 2014. It has been adapted into a South Korean animation in 2015 and an original net animation (ONA) in 2016, and an anime television series by Production I.G premiered in October 2020 on Crunchyroll.

Plot

Noblesse is about a powerful noble - Cadis Etrama Di Raizel (referred to as Rai) - who has been asleep for 820 years with no knowledge of mankind's advancement and scientific successes. At the start of the webtoon, Rai wakes up in an abandoned building in South Korea,[2] and starts to get used to the modern world. He goes to a school, where he reunites with his loyal servant Frankenstein. With Frankenstein's help, Rai enrolls into high school and inadvertently befriends athletic teenager Shinwoo, computer geek Ikhan, and Shinwoo's crush Yuna, and a few others. Noblesse follows the group's often dangerous adventures against a secret organization while uncovering Rai's past.

A special forces team known as the DA-5 kill off military combat units in an unknown location and get ready to set out to Japan for their next mission, an investigation into the disappearance of two Union members. Meanwhile, Raizel, the protector of the nobles, along with his loyal butler Frankenstein and former Union experiment M-21, continue to spend their days at Ye Ran High School, all while keeping their true identities a secret. M-21 has been assigned to be a security guard for the school in order to pay off his debts of living in Frankenstine's house. During the morning, Frankenstine affirms to Raizel that he had erased the memories of his friends who were involved in their recent incident against members of the Union. The same day, a violent gang barges onto school grounds looking for Yusuke Tashiro, a person involved in the incident with the Union members, one of which broke his arm. The gang is there for an unrelated incident in which Tashiro saved the gang leader's girlfriend from tripping, which angered him. M-21 decides to let go of his fear of being detected and effortlessly takes down the gang's leader, causing them to leave in panic. Later that night, DA-5 arrives in Japan to begin their investigation. Meanwhile, two other unknown people gaze from a rooftop.
