Absolute Duo

At Kouryou Academy High School, students known as “Blazers” learn to draw weapons from their souls and refine their combat abilities. Partnering is mandatory, with each duo training toward the elusive level of power called Absolute Duo.

Tooru Kokonoe enrolls driven by vengeance after his sister and friends were killed by an unknown assailant. On the first day, he’s thrown into a high-stakes opening duel against the classmate beside him—defeat means expulsion. When Tooru’s soul manifests not as a weapon but as a shield, the unexpected anomaly draws the notice of Julie Sigtuna, a visiting student from overseas.
