Bliss ~ End of Gods (Chinese: Bliss~极乐幻奇谭, pinyin: BLISS ~ jílè huànjī tán) is an action Science Fantasy manhua by L.DART that started being published in 2019.
In a post-apocalyptic world, a cyborg woman called Bliss is drawn into a conflict between the rulers of the city of Chao Ge and terrorist organization Pure Soul. She will eventually learn much more about these groups as well as herself.
The series was legally published in English on Bilibili Comics until the service was shutdown in March 2024.
This series provides examples of:
- Action Girl: Bliss is a great example as she is always ready to jump into action and kick enormous amounts of ass.
- Tu Ling is also one, specially when she activates her Super Mode.
- Animesque: Inspired by Japanese manga to the point the art is mostly in black and white despite being published digitally.
- Casanova Wannabe: Gan Luo. He tries to seduce Bliss in an early chapter and is rejected, and a special chapter is all about him going on several dates with women who likewise reject him.
- Complete Immortality: Bliss seems to have this as not even having her brain blown out will be enough since she can just regenerate it.
- Expy: Sky Wolf has spiky hair, sharp eyes, Hair-Trigger Temper and is a fire user. He's blatantly patterned after Bakugou Katsuki.
- Qiao Shi is also clearly based on Diavolo.
- Genius Loci: Chao Ge is this due literally being The Lord of the Underworld's body, damage to the city means the lord gets hurt and may result in his death.
- Great Offscreen War: The Artifact War in the backstory. Bliss participated in it and details are slowly revealed as the story goes on.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Qiao Shi is nicknamed "The Cannibal" due being this, with women being his favorite.
- Tu Ling is also this when the Demon King wakes up, having eaten three people in the past and one onscreen.
- Lady Looks Like a Dude: Bliss more than once gets confused for being a man due her rather petite figure.
- Magical Weapon: They are called Artifacts and are wielded by Spirituals, that is to say, individuals mystically linked to gods and legendary heroes.
- Ms. Fanservice: Bliss herself. Not only is her standard outfit a very skimpy black bra and shorts combo, but the artist wastes no opportunity to draw her in poses showing off her body.
- Science Fantasy: It features a dystopian post-apocalyptic future reminiscent of the Cyberpunk genre, but souls and mystical weapons are a major part of the setting.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Sky Wolf is easily the biggest example of this in the manhua, when he is pissed his speech bubbles get filled with censored swearing, and with how easily he gets angry it happens a lot.
