Synopsis of Seirei
Haruto Amakawa is a young boy who died
before reuniting with his childhood friend who disappeared five years ago,
while Rio is a boy living in the slums who seeks revenge for the murder of his
mother that occurred when he was five years old. Earth and another world, two
people with completely different backgrounds and values. For some reason, the memories
and personality of Haruto, who should have died, are resurrected in Rio's body.
While the two are confused by the fusion of their personalities, Rio decides to
live in this new world.
Along with Haruto's memories, Rio
awakens a "special power," and it seems that if he uses it well, he
could live a better life. But before that, Rio stumbles upon the scene of a
kidnapping, which turns out to be of a princess from the Bertram Kingdom, where
he lives. After saving her, Rio receives a scholarship to study at the Royal
Academy, a school for rich and powerful young people. However, being a poor
orphan boy in a school with no name makes it an extremely detestable place for
him.
