Absolute Duo (Japanese: アブソリュート・デュオ Hepburn: Abusoryūto Duo?) is a Japanese light novel series by Takumi Hiiragiboshi with illustrations by Yū Asaba. Media Factory has published eleven volumes since 2012 under their MF Bunko J imprint. It has received two manga adaptations. A 12-episode anime television series adaptation by 8-Bit aired between January 4 and March 22, 2015.
Tor Kokonoe enrolls in Koryo Academy, a high school where its students battle each other with weapons known as Blaze (焔牙/ブレイズ Bureizu?) as training to become future peacekeepers. The students must pass a battle during the qualification ceremony of the freshmen day in order to be enrolled in the academy. Although most students manifest their Blazes as melee weapons, Tor's ability manifests as a shield, making him an Irregular (イレギュラー iregyurā?). The school uses a special Duo system in which students are assigned partners. Tor is paired with Julie Sigtuna, a silver-haired girl from Scandinavia, and must share a room with her. Both Julie and Tor are revealed to be an avenger, while Julie herself is an El-Awaken and possesses unlimited power. They both also have tragic pasts because their loved ones, Tor's sister and Julie's father, were killed by an enemy. Tor previously befriended with Imari Nagakura who failed the qualification and is enrolled in the Koryo branch academy on a vacation island and later paired with Miwa to form a duo.
