Albox: Towa wo Kaetara

Chino Houjo appears to be an unremarkable high school student living a quiet, everyday life, but her world is shattered when her childhood friend Souma falls victim to a sudden and mysterious attack. Desperate to save him from certain death, she is compelled to acquire a supernatural guardian known as a "prince" from Albox, a strange alternate dimension that intersects with her own reality. This extraordinary transaction marks the end of her ordinary existence and thrusts her into a hidden realm of otherworldly contracts and perilous obligations that she never anticipated. The crisis deepens when it becomes clear that saving Souma requires more than just securing mystical protection; his very soul has been stolen by an unknown adversary. Chino must now embark on a dangerous quest to track down this thief and reclaim what was taken, navigating the treacherous boundaries between her mundane life and the fantastical dangers of Albox. Her journey transforms from a simple rescue mission into a complex battle for survival, forcing her to confront dark forces while relying on her newly acquired prince to protect both her friend’s spirit and her own future.
