Kokuro

After receiving a message from Rin ASHIBA, the girl he's in love with, Sora ISOSHI goes to a classroom at his high school where Rin had asked him to meet. But when he gets to the classroom, he finds himself alone. Thinking it was a joke, he leaves the room, but once outside, in what should be the corridor of his high school, he sees instead a large white room where, sitting on a throne at the back of the room, is Rin ASHIBA.

She tells him that he has been chosen by the Tower to try and climb it and become its new king.

But as he wasn't born into this world, he doesn't have the ability to use what all the inhabitants of the planet are able to use, the Ushi.

So Sora is given a strange power. A power with which he will try to climb the Tower, trying to fulfil Rin's wish and thus become the new King of the Tower.

The Tower King

She lunged again, faster than her first attack, and aimed for Sora's skull. This time, he had time to completely dodge her attack, but could only step back to better anticipate the next one. 


Sora tried to remember all the advice Emma had given him. He knew that defending was good, but attacking was even better. With this thought in mind, Sora gathered his courage and took the initiative to attack. He lunged towards Emma, attempting to surprise his instructor with a series of swift, precise strikes. They were all parried without too much effort, but Sora could see a glint of satisfaction in Emma's eyes. 


Their exchange of blows continued for almost an hour. An hour during which Sora didn't manage to hit Emma once, but he received dozens of blows all over his body.
