Synopsis:

At Akane Private Academy, students with fragmented memories of past lives are rigorously trained as protectors against unpredictable incursions from otherworldly entities known as Metaphysicals. The narrative centers on Moroha Haimura, a student navigating this unusual existence alongside classmates who share similarly layered histories. Divided into "Kurogane," who channel energy to summon weapons, and "Kuroma," skilled in magic, the students grapple with their inherited powers and the implications of their interwoven pasts.

The series unfolds during the early months of the academic year, revealing connections between characters that span vastly different eras and roles. Moroha’s encounters with Satsuki and Shizuno hint at heroic and villainous incarnations, forcing them to confront questions of destiny and redemption. The anime explores themes of identity, memory, and the potential for forging a hopeful future when burdened by the echoes of bygone lives.
