The world is filled with supernatural objects that house distortions of the world called “Vanits.” Shin Karamori wields one such artifact—an azure sword that granted his wish to live and gave him incredible combat abilities yet curses all those around him. Karamori throws himself body and soul into fighting bloody battles involving Vanits, accompanied by an artificial young girl named Archive, whose fate is dictated by a certain book. Karamori fights to save an important figure from his past, and he'll do anything to make it happen, even if that means Archive losing her life. When the tragic pair meets a high school girl, the wheels of fate rapidly start to spin. But is the future awaiting them one of annihilation...or something else?

These are the Union, led by the United States of America; the Human Reform League, led by China, Russia, and India; and the AEU, led by Europe. These superpower blocs continue to play a grand zero-sum game for the sake of their own prestige and prosperity.

Sometimes in life, we have to stop what we’re doing to ask ourselves, “Why does such and such have to be like this?” The world of Katsuo Nakane’s Hurrah Sailor, deals with this question, as Konika, Ichino, Mareta, Shoya, and Ensign Kurie find themselves stranded on a planet whose inhabitants have developed virtually no technology at all. The Two United Empires and the Federation Kingdom have been at war for centuries and entire galaxies have been turned into war zones. With neither side ever achieving a decisive victory, the conflict has been dragging on so long that both sides have even forgotten the reason why the war originally started. But now, for Konika of the Federation Kingdom, and the others from the United Empire, they must put aside their differences to find a way off the planet together. During this process, they find that perhaps there are no differences between them, and some of them begin to wonder if they wouldn’t be better off not returning to the war. (Source: Infinity Studios)
