Beyond the Boundary

Synopsis

The story of Kyoukai no Kanata is set in a world where creatures from the spirit world called Youmu roam in the human world under human disguises, and trained specialists called Spirit World Warriors protect humans from youmu attacks. Kanbara Akihito is a high school student who apparently has a youmu lineage and a peculiar regenerative ability that exceeds that of a normal human. In an unexpected encounter, Akihito saves a classmate named Kuriyama Mirai, whom he believes is about to jump off the school building, not knowing that Mirai is a spirit world warrior. Mirai, who was sent to kill Akihito, fails because of Akihito's immortal blood. After their first encounter, Akihito starts to help Mirai because he thinks that they're on the same side. Akihito and Mirai develop their friendship together with Nase Mitsuki and Nase Hiroomi. Their friendship goes under different trials that make their bonds stronger and the relationship between Mirai and Akihito grows deeper and deeper. Sacrifices and great decisions are made by Mirai and Akihito – decisions that might make them live without the person they want to protect the most.
