Magika Swordsman and Summoner Series

Parallel to our dimension is a world filled with magic, home to a host of mystical beings and fantastical powers. Humanity has learned to harness these forces and bring forth that world’s entities to do their bidding through the power of “summoners.” Our world has never been the same.
Fifteen years later, Kazuki Hayashizaki is chosen as the first male summoner. His attendance in an all-female summoner class, however, is met with opposition – and none so strongly than from his own sister, the school’s most skilled swordsman. As Kazuki is torn between the way of the sword and the world of summoning, can he overcome adversity and learn to harness his new powers?

TREASURE HUNT

To ascend to the mystic throne and be declared King of Japan, one must find the Three Sacred Treasures which are rumored to be hidden in the monster-filled Sea of Trees around Mt. Fuji. This rule, which was imposed by meddling outsiders from the Magically Advanced Countries, means that Kazuki, must personally take up the challenge! Will his plans come to fruition…or will Loki’s machinations allow the god of mischief to put a puppet on the throne?

A NEW WRINKLE After forming a contract with Amaterasu, Kazuki has become king of both the Solomon and Japanese mythoi.

She claims to have come to demand a ceasefire, but what is her real aim?

DEUS EX MAGIKA To put a dent in Western Japan’s military might, Kazuki must travel to Ise Grand Shrine–in enemy territory–to persuade the deity Amaterasu to pacify the Japanese Divas.

MAGIC VERSUS STEEL Kazuki Hayashizaki, the only boy in the all-girls’ Magika, is starting to accept his fate as a summoner rather than a swordsman. But after a decisive victory in the dueling arena, the teachers believe that Kazuki’s rightful place is at the Kengika, the school for training swordsmen. No one feels this more strongly than Kazuki’s adoptive sister, Kanae, who challenges him to a duel that would pit her sword skills against his summoning magic. If Kazuki wins, it will prove once and for all that he has what it takes to become a summoner and should remain at the Magika. There’s only one hitch—Kazuki’s spells are mysteriously running dry, and time is running out!
