Name:[b] Count Cain[/b]
Author: [b]Kaori Yuki[/b]
Set in 19th century England, Earl Cain focuses on a nobleman named Cain Hargreaves who, as a child, was abused daily by his father, Alexis, and isolated from the outside world. Cain tried to poison his father and Alexis appeared to commit suicide by falling into the sea. As a result, Cain inherited the title of Earl of Hargreaves. Because Riff, the Hargreaves' head butler, was the first person Cain ever trusted, Cain and Riff have a close bond. Thoughout Earl Cain, Cain solves mysteries, many of which focus on human nature and emotional/social conflict. Later on, Cain learns from Jizabel Disraeli, a member of the secret society Delilah, that his father is not dead and had in fact started Delilah. Delilah focuses on human research and creating "dolls", ressurected corpses who must have blood and fresh organs often to exist. Cain vows to stop Delilah. Cain continues to periodically run into Jizabel as well as other members of Delilah.
However, Riff's true ruthless personality awakens, causing Riff to leave Cain; Alexis had surpressed Riff's real personality in order to hurt Cain. Some parts of the story develop out from the actual events taking place in London, like the Jack the Ripper case and Queen Victoria's 60th coronation. Some of the chapters revolve around Cain's past and Riff, his servant whom Cain is very intimate with and sees as one of his family. Later in the manga, the plot becomes more connected and details his struggle against a secret society established by his father named Delilah (in which the name overshadows the secret revealed by the end).
