Absolute Duo

Tor Kokonoe enters an academy where students turn their souls into weapons called Blazes. His manifests as a shield instead, marking him as an irregular and drawing the attention of Julie Sigtuna, the silver-haired girl who becomes his training partner.

Both are driven by painful losses and a need to grow stronger. Sharing a life as a Duo requires trust as well as fighting skill, and the academy's challenges soon give way to threats beyond ordinary training. Their unusual partnership may offer the strength each has been seeking alone.
