Alderamin on the Sky

- Season 1

(2016)

Ikta is a brilliant, but lazy and unmotivated boy. His childhood friend, a high-ranking daughter of a noble, offers him an easy position at a library if he can help he get the top score on a military exam. But their lives take a sudden turn when the boat carrying them to the exam runs aground, and Ikta rescues a mysterious girl on board. When she turns out to be a princess, and they all find themselves behind enemy lines, Ikta is going to start having to work hard for real.

Ikta succeeds in a daring plan to cross the Kioka border and return the princess home. Now he finds himself dragged into a war he hates, serving a government that doesn't want to win, and despising the princess he rescued.

Ikta and the crew join the High-Level Officer's School. Ikta finds a surprising revelation. Torway's elder brothers prove to be a thorn in their side.

Ikta skilfully outmaneuvers the elder Remeon brothers in the Mock Battle. As they inch closer to victory, Ikta and his crew uncover a heinous plot against the Princess.

"Welcome to the world of science!" When Yatori was 9 years old, she was sent to study with the general Bada Sankrein, and met a young boy her age, Ikta. The world he shows her is new and exciting, like nothing she's ever seen.

Ikta and crew are assigned to a garrison in the far northern region of the empire. The staff are petty and don't like it when Ikta defies orders. But when they try to put him in the garrison prison, he comes across a secret that they want to keep hidden.

War breaks out as the Empire's oppression of the mountain people results in a terrifying backlash. With the one competent leader in the Northern Garrison dead, the ignorant garrison commander flings the troops into a highly defended, mountainous position.
