Synopsis
Shy Alice gains word-magic via rabbit Nyozeka, rivals sister, loves Kyo, masters Lotis runes.
The story follows Alice Seno, a shy 15-year-old who has always lived in the shadow of her accomplished older sister Mayura. At school, Alice is simply known as "Mayura's little sister," and her gentle nature makes her an easy target for teasing. Alice secretly admires Kyo Wakamiya, a handsome upperclassman who shares Mayura's passion for archery. One morning, Alice's life takes an unexpected turn when she rescues a mysterious white rabbit from the street. The rabbit, who calls herself Nyozeka, reveals that Alice possesses a rare gift - she is destined to become a Lotis Master, someone who can wield the ancient power of words to understand and influence the hearts of others. As Alice begins to learn about the Lotis Words - mystical runes that hold the power of communication - she discovers that this ability comes with great responsibility. Alongside Kyo, who also harbors hidden potential, and other allies she meets along the way, Alice must navigate the challenges of mastering her newfound powers while dealing with the complexities of family, friendship, and first love. In a world where words can heal or harm, Alice's journey will test her courage and determination as she learns to balance her ordinary life with her extraordinary destiny.
