One of Shuuji’s classmates, Ayachi Nene, likewise has her own grave secret: She will randomly experience periods of strong arousal, something which she has no control over. The two of them had nothing to do with one another beyond just being classmates, until one day, when Shuuji stumbled upon a scene that defied his wildest imaginations. Ayachi Nene, THAT Ayachi Nene is pressing her crotch against the corner of a library table… using it to MASTURBATE?!
Following that one accident, two strangers became friends. They bonded with one another through their shared secrets, and from this, Shuuji came to learn about certain things. That is, not only about the reason for Nene’s random ‘fits’ where she gets uncontrollably aroused, but also about the existence of people called ‘witches’—-Nene’s secret actions as a ‘witch’, and the ‘fits’ she goes through because of that serving as the magnet, a junior, an upperclassman, and a transfer student all congregate together.
Shuuji’s once normal life is thrown into chaos, and with that, a certain faint hope wells up inside of him:
“Maybe this will be the start of something new.”

13. Silverio Vendetta シルヴァリオ ヴェンデッタ [150227] light 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
In the near future, fossil fuel deposits have dried up and nations have begun scrambling to secure the few resources which remained. It was at this time that Japan successfully discovered the previously unknown “Astral” particle, which would have solved the world’s energy problems. However, the other nations would not recognize Japan’s superiority and sought to take the new technology by force, sparking the Fifth World War.
As the entire world descended into a fierce war, no one had realised the greatest danger to humankind. The new Astral nuclear power reactors malfunctioned, causing a seismic space-time earthquake which wiped out Japan and most of eastern Eurasia.
With the birth of the second sun, Amaterasu, came a drastic change in the world situation. As it was impossible to maintain the current culture with the lack of electronic circuits, the war ended without any victor, leaving behind only a deep scar.
It took a thousand years before humankind recovered from this catastrophe. It was then that another unprecedented calamity occurred in the capital of Adler, a military nation located in what was formerly Western Europe. Blood and screams filled the burning streets as the city descended into bottomless despair. Two strange beings appeared, challenging the hero and the fate of mankind.
Zephyr did not believe that this fierce heroic battle suited him and decided to run away instead. He did not care about winning the battle; he just wished to live a normal life. For the only girl he had saved, he promised to turn his back on everything. This is not a story about heroes; it is a tale about those who have lost.

Shuu is able to read the feelings of others. However, it only brings him pain, especially in places with many people, like a full train. One day, he noticed that he was not able to feel the emotions of a girl on the train, even when he focused his ability on her. Before he knew it, he was completely fixated on her and wanted to know more about her heart although he didn’t even know her name. He only knew that she was a student at his school.
One summer day, the girl went to the school’s roof instead of the classroom. He curiously followed her and when he reached the top, he was greeted by her cold gaze.
“There is a wall surrounding my heart. You cannot pass through it.”
For some reason, the girl knows his "power".
A boy who can read people's feelings. A girl who has sealed her heart/feelings with a wall.
The story of these two, starts at that summer ~
