Summary of Seirei Gensouki
Haruto Amakawa is a young man who died before reuniting with his childhood friend who disappeared five years ago, while Rio is a suburban boy seeking revenge for his mother’s murder, which occurred at the age of five. Earth and another world, two people with completely different backgrounds and values. For some reason, the memories and personality of Haruto, who should have died, are revived in Rio’s body. While the two are confused by the merging of their personalities, Rio decides to live in this new world.
Along with Haruto’s memories, Rio evokes a “special power” and it seems that he could lead a better life if used well. But before that, Rio stumbles upon the scene of a kidnapping who turns out to be a princess from the kingdom of Bertram, in which he lives. After Rio saves her, Rio receives a scholarship to the Royal Academy, a school for rich and powerful young men. However, as a poor orphan boy in a naming school, it is an extremely hideous place for him.
