Ars no Kyojuu

Across Ars, humanity survives by hunting colossal beasts that roam the land. Warriors known as Paladins fight by drawing on the destructive power of Clerics, gifted people whose magic is too dangerous to control alone. Jiiro, a former Paladin still carrying the loss of his old partner, crosses paths with Kuumi, a young woman whose newly awakened power has made her the target of a secretive research organization.

Forced to form a contract when a giant beast attacks, the pair becomes an unlikely team. Joined by the lively Myaa, they flee their pursuers and search for the truth behind Kuumi and the experiments surrounding her. As their journey widens, it becomes clear that the creatures of Ars may not be the most frightening threat, and that some of the world's deepest dangers were created by humans.
