Seraph of the End: Guren Ichinose: Catastrophe at Sixteen

Seraph of the End - Ichinose Glen, a 16 year old's Catastrophe (終わりのセラフ 一瀬グレン、16歳の破滅 Owari no Serafu - Ichinose Glen, Jyuurokusai no Catastrophe) is a prequel and narrates the series of events that occurred years before the start of the manga version of Owari no Seraph, in which Yuuichiro is the protagonist. It primarily tells the background story of what happened before the world became the way it is in the manga. Glen is the protagonist in this light novel series. Both the light novel and manga started within a few short months of each other and are running concurrently at almost the same speed. The manga manuscript is also provided by Kagami Takaya and the manga artist Yamamoto is also the illustrator of this prequel light novel series.

Plot
"Hey, Glen? Do you think... when we grow up, we can still be together like always?"

Just before the world fell to ruin because of mysterious virus that appeared on Earth which killed every infected human over the age of 13. Vampires conquered the surface - in that one last spring.

Ichinose Glen had entered a Sorcery Training School in Shibuya. This school was full of elites from famous families in the world of sorcerers. As he himself was of modest origin, Guren held a great ambition in his heart, even despite being labelled as trash. But among his classmates, a girl appeared who introduced herself by the name of the fiancée he had traded vows with a really long time ago... In that world slated for ruin, the boy sought power; and the girl sought power as well. A magic academy fantasy story begins!
