Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel and Dragon

Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi, first princess of the Misurugi Empire, has grown up in a world transformed by “Mana,” a revolutionary power that bends light and has ushered in an era of prosperity where war and pollution are largely things of the past. Yet that peace comes with a cruel divide: people born without Mana are branded “Norma,” treated as dangerous outcasts, and relentlessly persecuted—an order Angelise has long accepted.

On her sixteenth birthday, a stunning discovery reveals Angelise herself is a Norma. Stripped of her status amid public fury, she is sent to Arzenal, an isolated military facility where Normas are conscripted and trained to fight. There, the former princess is forced into a brutal new reality, learning to pilot Paramail mecha against massive, destructive creatures known as DRAGONs—until unsettling truths about these enemies begin to surface.
