About This Book
Shakugan no Shana (Shana of the Blazing Eyes), also known simply as
Shana, is a series of Japanese light novels and related media works
written by Japanese novelist Yashichiro Takahashi and illustrated by
Noizi Ito centering around Yuji Sakai, an ordinary Japanese high school
boy who inadvertently becomes involved in a perpetual war between forces
of balance and imbalance in existence. In the process, he befriends the
title character: a fighter for the balancing force, whom he takes to
calling "Shana". The series incorporates science fiction, fantasy, and
slice-of-life "school days" elements into its tale.
Yuuji Sakai, a high school student who expected his very normal life to
last forever, is dead. While on his way home one day he witnesses a
shocking view: the world suddenly freezes, people are engulfed by blue
flames and a monster resembling a large doll seems to swallow them. Just
as the monster prepares to consume Yuuji, a sword-wielding girl in black
attire with flaming red eyes and hair that burns like embers saves him.
The girl calls herself a "Flame Haze" who hunts the Tomogara (formally "Guze
no Tomogara", or Crimson Denizens in English), creatures from another
world. When Yuuji notices a blue flame in his chest, the Flame Haze
tells him that the "real" Yuuji died some time ago, and that he is a
"Torch", a temporary replacement for erased humans. Torches take on the
forms of those erased persons, but before long, they will vanish from
the memories of the living. Unfazed by his apparent death, Yuuji
befriends the strange girl and names her "Shana". Expecting Yuuji to
slowly fade away like all other Torches do, Shana is surprised to find
that Yuuji is not a normal Torch, but instead a special kind called a "Mistes":
he has a "hougu" inside him, and an extremely powerful and valuable one
at that. Shana resolves to protect Yuuji from the Tomogara, who would
use the hougu to disrupt the balance of the world, and Yuuji decides to
join Shana in her fight.
Shana's fight is the long-standing struggle between Flame Hazes and
Tomogara. The Tomogara are beings from the Crimson Realm and steal Power
of Existence, the energy that forms the basis of the world, from the
living people and utilize it for their own selfish ambitions. Flame
Hazes are the mortal enemies of Tomogara,and attempt to retain balance.
Thus, the Flame Hazes create Torches in the image of the dead in order
to relieve the strain on reality resulting from the actions of the
Tomogara.
