For years, Yuri has trained his muscles deep in the Forest of Death. One day, he grows so strong he can even withstand the power of magic! When a (self-proclaimed) transcendently beautiful elf girl named Filia comes upon Yuri, they join forces on a journey out of the forest! Can they stop bickering long to make it to the wide world beyond? (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)
