Blast of Tempest

Yoshino Takigawa is an unassuming high schooler with a secret: he’s been dating Aika, the younger sister of his best friend, Mahiro Fuwa. When Aika dies under mysterious circumstances, Mahiro vanishes, determined to hunt down her killer and take revenge. Yoshino tries to return to normal life, but a month later he’s abruptly pulled back in—cornered at gunpoint by an unfamiliar girl until Mahiro appears to rescue him.

Mahiro reveals he’s struck a desperate alliance with the witch Hakaze Kusaribe in order to uncover the truth behind Aika’s death. Exiled to a deserted island after conflict within her own clan, Hakaze needs help from the outside—especially as her brother Samon pursues the power of the Tree of Exodus, ignoring both her warnings and the danger it poses to the world. Caught between revenge and catastrophe, Yoshino and Mahiro work alongside the banished witch, closing in on Aika’s killer as the stakes escalate far beyond a single death.
