Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles (精霊幻想記, Seirei Gensōki) is a Japanese light novel series written by Yuri Kitayama and illustrated by Riv. It was serialized online between February 2014 and October 2020 on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō. It was later acquired by Hobby Japan, which has published the series under its HJ Bunko imprint since October 2015. A manga adaptation with art by tenkla was serialized online via Hobby Japan's Comic Fire website from October 2016 to February 2017, being discontinued because of the artist's poor health. A second manga adaptation with art by Futago Minaduki has been serialized online via the same website since July 2017. Both the light novel and the second manga have been licensed in North America by J-Novel Club. An anime television series adaptation by TMS Entertainment aired from July to September 2021. A second season is set to premiere in 2024. Plot Haruto Amakawa is a Japanese college student who died in a train crash before he could reunite with his childhood friend, Miharu Ayase, whom he hadn't seen in five years. Next thing he knew his memories resurrected in the body of a boy, Rio, living in the slums of the Bertram Kingdom in the Stralh region of another world. Two people with entirely different backgrounds and values—Rio wants revenge on behalf of his mother, who was murdered in front of him. Complicating matters, Rio suddenly encounters a kidnapping involving the two princesses. After Rio is cleared of abduction, the royalist rewards him with acceptance to the kingdom's academy for studying magic and swordsmanship. However, Rio is shunned by most of the peers there due to being a peasant. His only companion there is Celia Claire, a young female teacher who invites him into her laboratory on a daily basis. Before graduating from the academy, due to a false accusation, Rio became a fugitive and was forced to flee the country. He promises Celia that he will return once he travels to the far east of his mother's homeland to find his roots and stabilize his mixed personality. Along with Haruto's memories, Rio awakens a "special power," and it seems that if he uses it well, he can live a better life. Characters Main Haruto Amakawa (天川春人, Amakawa Haruto) / Rio (リオ) Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Ayaka Suwa (young) (Japanese); Kieran Regan, Fionn Kinsella (young) (English) Haruto Amakawa was a Japanese college student who died in an unfortunate bus accident and reincarnated as Rio, an orphan from the slums of the Beltrum Kingdom's capital, Beltrant. Rio grew up swearing to avenge his mother's death, though his personality later shifted due to him regaining his memories as Haruto. He saved the kidnapped Princess Flora, and as a reward, was allowed to enroll in the Beltrum Kingdom Royal Institute. Later, due to a false accusation, he became a fugitive before he could graduate and was forced to flee the country. Rio traveled far east to his mother's homeland to find his roots and stabilize his mixed personality. There, Rio meets his grandparents and cousin, learning of his royal heritage. Years later, he returned to the west with a new identity under Haruto's name, aiming to take his revenge on his parents' enemies. His most striking feature is his black hair, which is extremely rare among the population. Celia Claire (セリア=クレール, Seria Kurēru) Voiced by: Akane Fujita (Japanese); Madeline Dorroh (English) Celia was Rio's teacher and his only companion when he was studying at the Beltrum Royal Academy. On his first day of school, she taught him how to read and write numbers. She and Rio spent a lot of time together in her laboratory. She gradually fell in love with Rio. When Rio returned to Beltrum to visit her, he found out that Celia was being forced to become Charles Arbor's seventh wife. After Rio saved her, they lived in Rock House for a time, and Celia learned how to perceive magic power and some fundamentals of spirit magic. Celia is currently in the midst of traveling to the Restoration along with the First Princess Christina and her royal guard. Aishia (アイシア) Voiced by: Yūki Kuwahara (Japanese); Morgan Garrett (English) Aishia is Rio's contracted spirit. She is willing to do anything for the sake of Haruto's happiness. Rio learned that she is an upper high-class spirit after he met the Spirit of the giant tree, Dryas. Endo Suzune (遠藤涼音, Suzune Endo) / Latifa (ラティーファ, Ratīfa) Voiced by: Tomori Kusunoki (Japanese); Julia Gu (English) Endo Suzune was an elementary school student who died on the same bus with Haruto and Rikka, and reincarnated as a young fox beastkin girl named Lafitfa. Originally an enemy of Rio who was enslaved by Duke Huguenot with a collar of submission and trained to be a merciless assassin, she was defeated and set free by Rio, later opting to follow him on his journey due to him resembling Haruto on the bus, where he would reunite her with her kin folk. She is extremely attached to Rio, having become his adoptive little sister, though it is strongly implied that she has romantic feelings for Rio (partially due to her past as Suzune), and she is very jealous of other girls when they interact with Rio. Miharu Ayase (綾瀬美春, Ayase Miharu) Voiced by: Sayaka Harada (Japanese); Sarah Anne Williams (English) Miharu Ayase is Haruto's first love and childhood friend. She long waited to be reunited with Haruto after his parents' divorce. Rio found Miharu and company in the forest, was confused about how to interact with her again as his moral values were different from those when he was Haruto. He also detested the idea of involving Miharu in his revenge quest. Later, Aishia bestowed a dream upon Miharu about Haruto and Rio's past before they reunited. This spurred Miharu to approach Rio more aggressively compared to her usual shy and timid personality. She later told Takahisa that she is in love with Haruto as his past self and as Rio. Takahisa attempts to kidnap Miharu but Rio saved her. Christina Beltrum (クリスティーナ=ベルトラム, Kurisutīna Berutoramu) Voiced by: Sayumi Suzushiro (Japanese); Madeleine Morris (English) Rio first meets Princess Christina in the slums when she was searching for her abducted sister Flora. The princess did not know how to interact with the common folk and slapped him because she thought he was the kidnapper. During their time at the academy, she avoided talking to him and didn't oppose framing him for a crime. Rio met with her at the banquet in the Galarc Kingdom, and despite being watched by the Arbor faction, she secretly thanked him for saving her sister in Amande. After, Rio met with her again as he accompanied Celia. Christina had escaped the Arbor faction and asked him for help in getting to Rodania. Seeing the trust between Rio and Celia, she suspects Haruto to be Rio, and her suspicions are later confirmed by Reiss. Flora Beltrum (フローラ=ベルトラム, Furōra Berutoramu) Voiced by: Kaede Hondo (Japanese); Madeleine Morris (English) The second princess of the Bel.... Discover the Yuri Kitayama popular books.
