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.
The story follows Alice Seno, a 15-year-old girl forever shadowed by her older sister Mayura, who is good at everything she does. At school she is known as "Mayura's little sister" and is relentlessly tormented by the older girls who know that Alice is too weak to fight back. Alice harbors a deep affection for Kyo Wakamiya, a handsome upperclassman who is on the archery team with Mayura. On the way to school one day, Alice rescues a white rabbit from the road despite the danger to herself, but gets rescued by Kyo and receives a bracelet with a single red stone. The rabbit she saves, however, is no ordinary rabbit. She reveals her true form to Alice and introduces herself as Nyozeka. Alice is told that she is destined to become a Lotis Master. The Lotis Masters use the power of words and communication to enter the Inner Heart of others. It is a powerful ability to be used carefully as Alice soon finds out. Using the power of the Lotis Words, which reveal themselves to be in the form of runes, Alice accidentally makes her older sister disappear during a dispute over Kyo, whom Mayura had begun dating. Alice then must use the Lotis Words to try and bring her sister back from the dark. She is joined by Kyo who proves to have the Lotis powers as well, and by Frey, another Lotis master who had trained with the masters and arrives with the intention to marry Alice. Unfortunately, Mayura has been taken by the power of the Maram Words, the dark reflection of the Lotis Words. Their only hope lies in Alice and Kyo becoming the legendary Neo-Masters to discover the lost word bonding both Maram and Lotis.
