Chaika: The Coffin Princess

Five years after the fall of the feared Emperor Arthur Gaz—brought down by the warriors later celebrated as the Eight Heroes—the long conflict between the Gaz Empire and an alliance of six nations has finally ended. With the war over and the continent trying to rebuild, the new Council of Six Nations works to preserve that fragile peace.

Tooru Acura, once a saboteur on the battlefield, finds himself adrift in a quiet world that has little use for his talents. His aimless days change when he encounters Chaika Trabant, a white-haired wizard traveling with a coffin and a single-minded request: help her recover her father’s scattered remains so she can lay him to rest. Tooru and his adoptive sister Akari agree to assist, but their decision draws the attention of Albéric Gillette and the Kleeman Agency, dispatched to track down and capture the late emperor’s daughter. As Chaika’s identity comes to light, the Acura siblings are forced to weigh their loyalty to her against the stability everyone is struggling to protect.
