Blade and
Bond

Akira arrived at Crimson Blade Academy with one burning goal—to become the strongest demon slayer Japan has ever seen. He never expected to be chained to Ryuu, the cold, untouchable prodigy whose red eyes watch him like a puzzle he wants to solve. Their cursed synchronization forces them to merge spiritual energy on every mission, and the more their powers entwine, the harder Akira fights the heat coiling in his chest every time Ryuu's breath ghosts his neck. But when they uncover a conspiracy that reaches the academy's darkest halls, trusting each other may be the only way to survive—and the only thing more dangerous than the demons they hunt is the feeling clawing its way between them.
