Shakugan no Shana Synopsis
The world has become an extermination camp for the Crimson Denizens, mysterious beings from a parallel universe that feed on the life energy of humans. These ruthless killers leave behind only a few remnants of souls called “Torches”, which are mere residues that will eventually be destroyed, along with the very fact of the victims' existence, from the minds of the living. In an ambitious effort to put an end to this invisible and hungry massacre, warriors called Flame Hazes fight tirelessly against these monsters.
One fateful day, Yuuji Sakai stops being an ordinary high school student: he gets trapped in a time rift and is suddenly attacked by a Denizen. Just in time, a nameless huntress comes to his rescue who appears to be nothing more than an ordinary girl, except for her blazing eyes and crimson hair. However, before Yuuji can learn anything more about his situation, he discovers that he has already been reduced to a torch, a mere piece of memory about to be extinguished.
