In this world, Soma gains the power of a "Soul Blader," capable of manipulating the hearts of those with whom he shares a deep connection, transforming them into crystalline "Soul Swords." As a Soul Blader renowned in legend, Soma is invited to Seiran, one of the three nations of the Liberia region, a country of beastmen. However, he soon finds himself embroiled in a conflict between nations rife with intrigue, forced to fight with his Soul Sword in hand. But on the front lines of the war, Soma encounters an enemy Soul Blader—who turns out to be his former best friend... A heartwarming fantasy depicting the friendship of boys who clash with their "feelings" as their swords.
