Story
The story follows Rio, a cold-hearted orphan living in the slums. At just seven years old, he discovers he is the reincarnation of Haruto Amakawa, a Japanese university student with a tragic past. Still processing this revelation, Rio learns he possesses extraordinarily powerful magical abilities, which he uses to solve the kidnapping of a young girl. His heroic act earns him a place at a prestigious academy for noble children.

Hobby Japan started publishing the print edition with Riv’s illustrations in 2015, and Futago Minaduki launched a manga adaptation in 2017.
