Seven Seas Licenses Absolute Duo Manga

North American manga publisher Absolute Duo light novel series. The first volume is slated to ship on August 29.

Seven Seas describes the story:

To avenge the death of his younger sister, Tor Kokonoe enters the prestigious Koryo Academy, a high school dedicated to training its students to wield Blaze—individualized weapons that are manifestations of one's soul. While the future of a student is often determined by the form their weapon takes, Tor is an Irregular, whose Blaze appears as a shield instead of a melee weapon. How can Tor possibly learn to use his defensive abilities to fight effectively? That's when the Duo system comes in, a program where students are paired up as battle mates, classmates and roommates. Tor's is paired with a silver-haired girl from Scandinavia named Julie Sigtuna, who possesses a power the likes of which has never been seen, and shares his thirst for revenge.

Nariie launched the ongoing manga adaptation in Absolute Duo Tea Party.

The series Funimation streamed the series as it aired and released the series on home video in North America.
