In a world of heroes who wield magical weapons known as Blaze, Thor Kokonoe’s manifests instead as a shield. Things aren’t all bad for Thor, though: he’s enrolled in an elite school that pairs students up into Duos, and his own partner is the beautiful Julie Sigtuna, a silver-haired exchange student who wields a wicked pair of blades. Along with a bevy of Blazing beauties, Thor’s high school adventures are just beginning!
