A Kingdom of Quartz 5

In a world where angels protect the people against demons, a young orphan with pitch-black wings may hold the key to the kingdom's fate. An exquisitely drawn, dark fantasy manga for fans of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Made in Abyss, and Witch Hat Atelier.

The battle outside the city gates took a shocking turn as Miss Steele sacrificed herself to save Adira, only to be reanimated by Dante into a dark mockery of her former self. Left with no choice but to fight the reanimated Steele, Blue was ultimately forced to kill her one-time friend and mentor.

Despite Blue’s grief at Steele’s death, the start of the great tournament leaves her little time to mourn. The contest between the preeminent houses of the Quartz Kingdom will pit the four Millenium Celes against each other, giving Blue a chance to exact justice on Dante for his betrayal. But with every use of her growing powers, she risks losing a little more of herself to the darkness. The winds of fate are swirling about her now, and the path she walks will lead to earth-shattering truths about the kingdom, the Goddess...and Blue’s place at the heart of it all.
